C-D Vibration at C-2 Position of Imidazolium Cation as a Probe of the Ionic Liquid Microenvironment.

Unlike molecular solvents, imidazolium-based ionic liquids are entirely made of ions with spatial heterogeneity. There is a need for spectroscopic probes that can assess the microenvironment near the cations of these complex liquids. In this manuscript, we describe simple chemical procedures to label the C-2 position of imidazolium cation with a C-D vibrational probe and show, through linear and non-linear vibrational spectroscopies, that this C-D stretching mode can be a useful analytical tool to assess both the solvent microenvironment and solute-solvent interactions in imidazolium-based ionic liquids from the cation point of view. It is expected that this C-D vibration probe on the cation will lead to the development of innovative experimental strategies that can provide a better understanding of such ionic liquids.
