ABSTRACT: The solubility parameters of four ionic liquids (ILs), 1-ethyl-3methylimidazolium methyl sulfate ([EMIM][MeSO4]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate ([BMIM][MeSO4]), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate ([HMIM][MeSO4])

sulfate

([OMIM][MeSO4]), were estimated using two complementary methods. The first is an inverse gas chromatography (IGC) method, which determined the Hildebrand solubility parameters of four ILs based on a series of formulaic calculations. The second is the Hansen solubility sphere method, which determined the Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) of the four ILs based on solubility testing of four ILs in 30 pure solvents. The results showed that the Hansen solubility sphere method provides higher values of the solubility parameters, while the IGC method presents lower values. In addition, the miscibilities of ILs in various solvents were evaluated by the method of IGC, and the results exhibit good agreement with those derived from the Hansen solubility sphere method. It is confirmed that the IGC and Hansen solubility sphere methods can be used to determine the solubility parameters of the ILs and were useful for solvent selection.

INTRODUCTION As green solvents, ionic liquids (ILs) are molten salts composed entirely of ions that have melting points below 373.15 K.1 Recently, ILs have received significant attention due to their unusual physicochemical properties, such as nonvolatility, negligible vapor pressure, high polarities, high ionic conductivity, and high thermal stability.2,3 They have been widely used in many applications, including as electrolytes,4 in catalysis,5 as reaction media,6 in extraction and separation processes,7 as lubricants,8 and in gas separation.9 The most distinct feature is possibly that their physical and chemical properties can be fine-tuned through slight structural modifications of the cation and anion, which allows the design of task-specific ILs intended for a specific application and makes them potentially useful as “designer solvents.”10 Knowledge about the thermophysical properties of each ionic liquid is essential to design new ILs and scale up promising applications. Among the many physicochemical properties, solubility parameters have been most widely studied due to high significance and are often used to predict and characterize the miscibility between the solvent /ionic liquid system.11 To date, more reports have appeared in the literature about calculating the Hildebrand solubility parameters of ionic liquids.1,12,13 However, the Hildebrand solubility parameters make no distinction based on the type of interactions (polar or nonpolar).14 Therefore, we introduced the Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs), which were first introduced by Hansen, who divided the Hildebrand solubility parameter into three

components which represent the specific type of interaction, namely, dispersion interactions (δD), polar interactions (δP) and hydrogen bonds (δH), respectively.15 The theory of HSPs has been extensively used in classes of materials such as nanoparticles and pigments,16 organic semiconductors,17 polymers,18 in artwork conservation,19 and in solid phase extraction.20 However, there are few researchers in the field of ILs.21 In this study, the Hansen solubility sphere method was used to calculated the HSPs of four ILs by solubility testing. To obtain the Hansen solubility sphere of four ILs, the data processing software package Hansen Solubility Parameter in Practice (HSPiP), presented by Hansen, was used. In addition, a widely used inverse gas chromatography (IGC) method is proposed to calculate the Hildebrand solubility parameter of four ILs and perform a comparative study, with the results derived from the Hansen solubility sphere. THEORETICAL CALCULATIONS Theory of IGC. IGC technique is often used to characterize the thermodynamic properties of ILs. In IGC theory, specific retention volume Vg0 is used to characterize the elution behavior of probes in a column, which can be expressed as,22 Vg0 

where m is the mass of the ILs on the column packing, Ta is room temperature, F is the flow rate of carrier gas, t r  t 0 is the net retention time of the probes, Pw is the saturated vapor pressure of water, and Pi and Po are the pressure of the column inlet and outlet, respectively. 4

According to Flory-Huggins theory, the interaction parameter χ12 can be calculated as follows,23

χ12  ln(273.15 RV2 / P10Vg0V1 )  1  P10 ( B11  V1 ) / RT

(2)

where R denotes the universal gas constant, V 1 represents the molar volume of the probes, V2 is the specific volume of the ILs in the stationary phase, T is the column temperature, P10 is the saturated vapor pressure of the probes, M 1 represents the molecular weight of the solvent, and B11 is the second virial coefficient, which can be expressed through eq 3.24 The detailed B11 values of the solvents used in this study are listed in Table S1 in the Supplementary Material (SM). 2

B11 / V c  0.430  0.886(T c / T )  0.694 (T c / T )  0.0375(n  1) (T c / T )

where n is the number of carbon atoms in the solvent, Vc is the critical molar volume of the solvent, and Tc is the critical temperature of the solvent. The Hildebrand solubility parameter δ2 can be computed according to the following equation,25 (

In this expression, δ1 represents the solubility parameters of the solvents which can be found from the literature.26 The detailed δ1 values of the solvents are presented in Table S2. According to eq 4, the δ2 is obtained from a straight line with a slope of

where δt, δD, δP and δH are the total solubility parameter, the dispersion solubility parameter, the polar solubility parameter and the hydrogen bonding solubility parameter, respectively. For the four solubility parameter values mentioned in eq 5, a calculated value Ra is defined to evaluate the difference of solubility for both substances.

Ra2  4(δ1D  δ 2D)2  (δ1P  δ 2P)2  (δ1H  δ 2H)2

(6)

A small Ra value indicates similar interaction force between the substances, which have a higher miscibility for each other. The concept of HSPs can be quantified by plotting the values of δD, δP and δH in a three dimensional figure known as the Hansen solubility sphere. In the solubility sphere, good solvents exist inside the region of the sphere, while poor solvents are outside the area of sphere. The HSP of the desired substance is represented at the center of the sphere, and the radius of the sphere is called the interaction radius R0.28 Another very useful parameter is the relative energy difference (RED) value given by eq 7,

RED  Ra / R0

(7)

RED ≤ 1.0 indicates good solvents, while progressively higher RED values imply poor solvents.15 EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Materials. The four ILs used in this investigation were 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate ([EMIM][MeSO4]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate 6

([BMIM][MeSO4]), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate ([HMIM][MeSO4]) and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate ([OMIM][MeSO4]), and the details of each IL are presented in Table 1. All ILs were acquired from Chengjie Chemical Co. Ltd., China. Before use, ILs were subjected to vacuum evaporation at 353.15 K over 24 h to remove water and volatile chemicals. The content of water in ionic liquids was measured using the Karl Fischer titration, all of which were less than 4×10-4. All of the solvents were obtained from J&K Scientific Ltd. and were used without further purification; the details are presented in Table S3. Table 1. IGC method. The column preparation and packing method used in this work is consistent with the method described by Ban.29 A stainless steel column with 1.2 m length and 2 mm inner diameter was used. The ionic liquid coated silicon alkylation 102 monomer as the stationary phase, which was prepared using dichloromethane as the dissolving solvent and rotary evaporation allows, the IL to be uniformly spread onto the surface of the monomer. The mass fraction of the ionic liquid in the stationary phase was 20%. The prepared column was heated under nitrogen for 12 h at 393.15 K before the experiment. The Shimadzu QP2010 gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) was used in this experiment. The obtained data were collected and processed using GC solution (version. 2.30.00). The experiments were carried out with the column temperature ranging from 313.15 to 353.15 K, and the temperatures of injector and detector were set at 523.15 K. High-purity nitrogen was used as carrier 7

gas. The flow rate of the carrier gas was 20 mL/min, which was determined by the soap bubble flowmeter. The volume of the solvents injected into the column for infinite dilution measurements was approximately 0.5 μL.. At each temperature, the dead time was determined by methane. Each experiment was repeated three times to ensure repeatability. HSPiP method. We employed 30 pure solvents to simulate the Hansen solubility sphere for four ionic liquids based on the solubility test. For each solubility experiment, 10 mL solvent was added to 2 mL ILs and then stirred for 24 h at room temperature. The solution was allowed to stand for two days, then the solubility state was recorded. If phase separation was observed in the solubility test, then the solvent was determined to be a poor solvent (score 0), while uniform solutions were considered to be good solvents (score 1). The commercial software package HSPiP (version 4.1.07) was adopted to process the data and create the Hansen solubility parameter sphere, based on the solubility test scores of 0 or 1. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Flory-Huggins interaction parameter. The Flory-Huggins interaction parameter χ12 is often used to assess thermodynamic miscibility for solvent-solute systems. In this regard, some rules have been previously presented in the literature for estimating solute-solvent system miscibility.30 Theoretically, χ12 < 0.5, indicates good solvents,

χ12 > 1, denotes poor solvents, and 0.5 < χ12 < 1 corresponds to moderate solvents. Therefore, we applied the Flory-Huggins theory to predict the interaction between ILs

and solvents. The results of χ12 ranging from the temperatures of 313.15 to 353.15 K for four ILs are presented in Table S4. From Table S4, the values of χ12 for n-alkanes (n-C6 to n-C12), cyclopentane, cyclohexane, aromatic hydrocarbons, alkenes and butyl ether are relatively large, while the values are small for dichloromethane, 1,4dioxane, acetone and alcohols. Based on the above theory, good solvents, poor solvents and intermediate solvents of the four ionic liquids were determined according to χ12 , and the results are listed in Table 2. For a binary solvent-solute system, this parameter depends on temperature. We can see from Table S4 that, with an increase of the temperature, a decrease in χ12 is observed for most of the solvents including nalkanes, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, p-xylene, ethylbenzene, 1,4dioxane, alkenes, acetone, butyl ether and alcohols. However, for dichloromethane and ethyl propionate, the trend with temperature is the opposite. The interaction parameter χ12 has been considered as a Gibbs free energy parameter and allows division into entropy χ s and enthalpy χ H components.31 The χ s contribution is related to the free volume of the solvent, which increased with increasing temperature. The χ H contribution is related to the intermolecular forces between materials and solvents, which decreased with increasing temperature. For dichloromethane and ethyl propionate, this means that the χ s contribution plays a major role, while the χ H contribution is greater than the χ s for other probes. Table 2.

different temperatures. Figure 1 shows the fitted curve for [δ12/(RT)- 12 /V1] in terms of δ1 for ionic liquid [EMIM][MeSO4] at five temperatures, and the plots of other ILs are shown in Figures S1-S3 in the SM. The Hildebrand solubility parameters of the four ILs were obtained from the slopes of the respective fitted curves at various temperatures, and the results are listed in Table 3. As is shown in Table 3, the increase in temperature from 313.15 to 353.15 K shows the decrease of the Hildebrand solubility parameter of four ILs varying within the ranges of 23.06-22.76 (J·cm-3)0.5, 22.52-22.02 (J·cm-3)0.5, 22.42-22.76 (J·cm-3)0.5 and 22.20-21.63 (J·cm-3)0.5. The Hildebrand solubility parameter exhibits a slight decrease with increasing temperature, which confirms the previous works.1,29,32,33 The trends of Hildebrand solubility parameters with respect to the temperature for the four ILs are shown in Figure 2. The regression equations and correlation coefficients (> 0.961) associated with the lines of four ILs are presented in Table 4. To obtain the Hildebrand solubility parameter of the ILs at room temperature, we used the extrapolation method based on the relationship curve of Figure 2. The δ2 values of four ILs (at 298.15 K) obtained from the equations are 23.16, 22.73, 22.58, and 22.43 (J·cm-3)0.5. In addition, the ionic liquid structure is a critical factor in influencing the value of the Hildebrand solubility parameter. Ionic liquids which have different types of anion and cation have different polarities and possess different molecular interaction forces.34 In this study, the effect of alkyl chain-length of cation and anion structures on the Hildebrand solubility parameters of imidazolium-based ILs has also been

investigated. We found that the Hildebrand solubility parameter decreases with increasing alkyl chain-length on the imidazolium ring at the same temperature, which is in agreement with the results of Marciniak35 and Alavianmehr.11 In other words, enhanced aliphatic character of the imidazolium cation leads to the lower solubility parameters. Figure 1. Table 3. Figure 2. Table 4. Solubility test for ILs. The solubility test results of each ionic liquid in 30 pure solvents are summarized in Table 5. As Table 5 demonstrates, for the four ILs, nalkanes (n-C6 to n-C12), cyclopentane, cyclohexane, ethylbenzene, hexene, cyclohexene, octene and butyl ether are poor solvents, while dichloromethane, acetone, methanol, alcohol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol and isobutanol are good solvents. This result is essentially consistent with that derived from the method of IGC based on χ12 . Four ILs have the same anionic group but different alkyl chainlengths on the imidazolium ring, which leads to solubility differences: the ionic liquids [BMIM][MeSO4], [HMIM][MeSO4] and [OMIM][MeSO4] dissolve in 1,4dioxane, butanone and 2-butanol, but the ionic liquid [EMIM][MeSO4] does not.

On the basis of the solubility test results, Figure 3 shows the Hansen solubility parameter spheres of four ILs. The largest green sphere with a small green solid dot in the middle represents the solubility parameter sphere of ionic liquid, the symbol “●” indicates a good solvent and the symbol “■” indicates a poor solvent. Table 6 lists the HSP values and interaction radii of the four ionic liquids. We found that the total solubility parameter decreases with increasing alkyl chain length, which confirms the observation of the IGC method. The different alkyl chain length on the imidazolium ring largely changed the Hansen sphere radius, R0. The range of R0 is ca. 7.6-11.8 (J·cm-3)0.5, which reflects the difference in HSPs allowed for good solvents for each ionic liquid. Morimoto also found the same results when studying asphaltene model compounds.36 Therefore, additional good solvents should be available for ionic liquid [OMIM][MeSO4], which has the Hansen solubility sphere with the largest R0 = 11.8 (J·cm-3)0.5. Among the selected 30 solvents, there are 17 solvents that can be dissolved in ionic liquid [OMIM][MeSO4], which is the greatest number among the four ionic liquids. It should be added that the solubility parameters of four ILs obtained by the Hansen solubility sphere are higher than those derived from the method of IGC. However, the results obtained by both methods were within an error range of 0.12-0.57 (J·cm-3)0.5. The harmony between the calculated and experimental values of the solubility parameters is remarkable. The IGC method calculates the 12

Hildebrand solubility parameter through a series of formulas, which is a theoretical value, while the Hansen solubility sphere method is based on solubility testing to obtain the HSPs of ionic liquids, which is an experimental value closer to the true value. In practical applications, we should comprehensively consider two methods according to our own needs to obtain more suitable solubility parameter values. The RED values between 30 pure solvents and each IL are also shown in Table 5, which were calculated by eq 7. We found that the good and poor solvents determined from the RED values are consistent with those of the previous solubility experiments and the χ12 values. Thus, it would be useful to select suitable solvents using both IGC and Hansen solubility sphere methods. Figure 3. Table 6. CONCLUSIONS It is essential to know the solubility parameters of ionic liquids. In the current study, we have successfully calculated the Hildebrand solubility parameters of four ionic liquids using the IGC method, and the HSPs have been precisely determined for them using the Hansen solubility sphere method based on solubility testing with various pure solvents. It was found that the solubility parameter decreases with increasing alkyl chain length, but it depends slightly on temperature. At the same temperature, the Hildebrand solubility parameters of the four ILs were obtained as δ2([EMIM][MeSO4]) = 23.16 (J·cm-3)0.5, δ2([BMIM][MeSO4]) = 22.73 (J·cm-3)0.5, δ2([HMIM][MeSO4]) = 22.58 (J·cm-3)0.5 13

The Hansen solubility sphere results showed that δt([EMIM][MeSO4]) = 23.65 (J·cm-3)0.5, δt([BMIM][MeSO4]) = 23.30 (J·cm-3)0.5, δt([HMIM][MeSO4]) = 22.87 (J·cm-3)0.5 and δt([OMIM][MeSO4]) = 22.55 (J·cm-3)0.5, which were slightly higher values than those obtained by the IGC method; however, only small errors covered the range of 0.12 to 0.57 (J·cm-3)0.5. In addition, the miscibilities of ionic liquids in various solvents were successfully determined using χ12 values and solubility testing, and the results obtained by both methods were essentially consistent.
