ABSTRACT: The phase behavior of imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) + phosphonium-based IL binary mixtures with a common anion has been investigated in the temperature range 253−453 K. Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([NTf2]−) and tetrafluoroborate ([BF4]−) were selected as common anions. The imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with a common anion showed an upper critical solution temperature (UCST). The phase separation temperatures of the mixtures decreased with increasing alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium cation. In contrast, the phase separation temperatures of the mixtures increased as the alkyl-chain length of the phosphonium cation increased. The phase separation temperatures of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with [BF4]− as a common anion were remarkably higher than those with [NTf2]−.



with increasing quadrupole moment of fluorinated benzene derivative.6,7 Recently, IL + IL mixtures have been proposed as a method to adjust the properties of ILs. Therefore, many researchers have reported on the properties of IL + IL mixtures, such as excess molar volume,8−11 surface tension,12 and viscosity.8,10,13 In addition, some IL + IL mixtures have been used in liquid− liquid extraction,14,15 chemical reaction,16 and CO2 separation.8 Several studies have been reported on the phase separation of IL + IL mixtures. Arce et al. have found that [C2mim][NTf2] is immiscible with trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([P66614][NTf2]), although the [C2mim][NTf2] + [P66614][NTf2] mixture includes [NTf2]− as a common anion.17,18 The same tendency was observed for N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C3mpyr][NTf2]) + [P66614][NTf2],19 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2mim][ O A c ] ) + [ P 6 6 6 1 4 ] [ O A c ] , 2 0 a n d c h o l i n i um bi s (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([Chol][NTf 2 ]) + [P66614][NTf2].21 In contrast to [C2mim][NTf2], 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([C4mim][NTf2]) is totally miscible with [P66614][NTf2].17,18 This suggests that the phase separation temperatures of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with a common anion decrease with increasing alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium cation.

INTRODUCTION In order to develop applications of ionic liquids (ILs) as new solvents in many fields, such as organic synthesis, catalysis, and separation, a number of investigations have been reported on the phase behavior of IL + molecular liquid (ML) mixtures. For example, Crosthwaite et al. studied the phase behavior of imidazolium-based IL + alcohol mixtures.1,2 Imidazolium-based IL + alcohol mixtures exhibit upper critical solution temperatures (UCSTs). The phase separation temperatures of imidazolium-based IL + alcohol mixtures decrease with increasing alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium cation. Moreover, they have reported that the choice of anion remarkably affects the phase behavior of imidazolium-based IL + alcohol mixtures; the phase separation temperatures of the mixtures decrease in the order of dicyanamide ([(CN)2N]−) > trifluoromethanesulfonate ([CF3SO3]−) > bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide ([NTf2]−) > tetrafluoroborate ([BF4]−) > hexafluorophosphate ([PF6]−). Shao et al. have precisely investigated the phase behavior of imidazolium-based IL + alcohol mixtures.3 The phase separation temperatures of the mixtures decrease with increasing alkyl-chain length of alcohol. For other mixtures, Shiflett et al. have reported that the phase separation temperatures of imidazolium-based IL mixtures of benzene derivatives with alkyl substituent increase with increasing alkyl-chain length of benzene derivatives, i.e., propylbenzene > ethylbenzene > toluene > benzene.4,5 The phase behavior of imidazolium-based IL + fluorinated benzene mixtures has also been reported.

COSMO-RS method.22 It was found that combinations of two ILs with remarkable differences in their constituent ions give rise to phase separation of IL + IL mixtures. In contrast to ML + ML and IL + ML mixtures, the separated IL + IL mixtures can generate the liquid−liquid interface composed only of ions. One can possibly expect that chemical reactions at the liquid− liquid interface composed only of ions are different from those at the liquid−liquid interface composed only of molecules. To promote application of IL + IL mixtures in many fields, such as liquid−liquid interface reactions, it is very important to investigate the phase behavior of IL + IL mixtures. However, a small number of papers on the phase behavior of IL + IL mixtures are available compared to the much larger number for ML + ML and IL + ML mixtures. Therefore, the effects of the structures of cation and anion on the phase behavior of IL + IL mixtures are still unclear. In the present investigation, the phase separation temperatures of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with a common anion were measured. We chose three imidazolium cations {1,3-dimethylimidazolium ([C1mim]+), [C2mim]+, 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium ([C3mim]+)} and four phosphonium cations {tributyldodecylphosphonium ([P44412]+), tributyltetradecylphosphonium ([P44414]+), tributylhexadecylphosphonium ([P44416]+), [P66614]+} because the effects of the alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium and phosphonium cations on the phase behavior of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with a common anion are still unclear. Moreover, [NTf2]− and [BF4]− were chosen as common anions to clarify the effect of a common anion on the phase behavior of the mixtures.

residues were no longer detected by AgNO3. All of the ILs used in the present investigation were dried under a vacuum at 333 K for at least 72 h. The purities of ILs synthesized were estimated by 1H NMR (JEOL, JNM-ECA500) spectra of each IL. The 1H NMR spectra of ILs are summarized in the Supporting Information. The name, abbreviation, and purity of ILs used in the present investigation are summarized in Table 1. The structures of cations and anions are illustrated in Figure 1.

Sample Preparation. Imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with sizes of about 5 g at given mole fractions of imidazolium-based IL (x1) were prepared in a glass vial under a dry nitrogen atmosphere. The x1 of imidazoliumbased IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures prepared is summarized in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. The uncertainty of the mole fraction x1 is u(x1) = 2.0 × 10−4. Measurement of Phase Separation Temperature. The prepared imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixture in a glass vial was immersed in a water or oil bath at given temperatures. The sample temperature was kept within ±0.2 K with a Pt-100 thermometer (accuracy = ±0.1 K). The phase separation temperatures were determined visually in a water (253−353 K) or oil (353−453 K) bath. By visual determinations, the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of the phase separation temperatures is U(T) = 1.0 K.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Materials. [C1mim][NTf2], [C2mim][NTf2], and [C3mim][NTf2] were synthesized with the conventional method previously reported.23 [C2mim][BF4] and [C3mim][BF4] were synthesized and purified using an anion metathesis method reported by K. Takao et al.24 The phosphonium-based ILs ([P44412][NTf2], [P44414][NTf2], [P44416][NTf2], [P66614][NTf2], [P44412][BF4], and [P44416][BF4]) were synthesized using a metathetic reaction between phosphonium halides {[P44412]Br (Tokyo Chemical Industry, 98%), [P44414]Cl (Kanto Chemical, 95%), [P44416]Br (Tokyo Chemical Industry, 98%), [P66614]Cl (Kanto Chemical, 95%)} and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (Li[NTf2], Kanto Chemical, 99%) or sodium tetrafluoroborate (Na[BF4], Kanto Chemical, 98%). The synthesized ILs, except for [C2mim][BF4] and [C3mim][BF4], were washed with water until halide B

≈ 0.8 are in good agreement with the literature data, whereas those above x1 ≈ 0.8 are not. Probably, the accuracy of the NMR method is lower than that of the visual determination method. This is because the integral intensity of the 1H peaks of the phosphonium cation is significantly lower than that of the imidazolium cation at higher x1. As a result, the phase separation temperatures of the [C2mim][NTf2] + [P66614][NTf2] mixture in the literature data above x1 ≈ 0.8 have been underestimated compared with those of the present data. As shown in Figure 2a, [C1mim][NTf2] is immiscible with four phosphonium-based ILs with [NTf 2 ] − . However, [C2mim][NTf2] is totally miscible with [P44412][NTf2] and [P44414][NTf2] in the temperature range examined. Moreover, [C3mim][NTf2] is only immiscible with [P66614][NTf2]. These results show that the phase separation temperatures of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with [NTf2]− decrease with increasing alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium cation. The same tendency is observed for the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with [BF4]−, as shown in Figure 3. This tendency is consistent with the previous investigation;17 Arce et al. have reported that [C2 mim][NTf2] is immiscible with [P66614][NTf2] but [C4mim][NTf2] is totally miscible with [P66614][NTf2]. Probably, the hydrophobicity of the imidazolium-based ILs is lower than that of the phosphonium-based ILs. As the alkylchain length of the imidazolium cation increases, the hydrophobicity of the imidazolium-based ILs increases. This leads to the increase in the miscibility of the imidazolium-based ILs with the phosphonium-based ILs, resulting in the decrease in the

phase separation temperatures of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with increasing alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium cation. In contrast, the phase separation temperatures of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with a common anion rise as the alkyl-chain length of the phosphonium cation increases, as shown in Tables 2 and 3 and Figures 2 and 3. The hydrophobicity of the phosphonium cation increases with increasing alkyl-chain length of the phosphonium cation. Therefore, the miscibility of the phosphonium-based ILs with the imidazolium-based ILs decreases with increasing alkyl-chain D

where A, B, and C show the linear coefficient of the diameter, the width of the phase diagram, and the coefficient of the nonlinear contribution of the diameter, respectively. xc represents critical imidazolium-based IL mole fractions. Equation 1 is derived as approximations to the scaling equations for systems with Ising-critical behavior.3,25−27 The plots are given in Figures 2 and 3 as the solid lines. A, B, C, Tc, and xc with the standard errors and the average relative deviations of the fits (ARDs) are summarized in Table 4. The data for the [C1mim][NTf2] + [P66614][NTf2] and [C2mim][BF4] + [P44412][BF4] mixtures are approximate values because the phase separation temperatures of these mixtures above 453 K could not be determined; therefore, these data are marked by a star. To elucidate the dependence of the alkyl-chain length of the cations on the Tc values for the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures, the Tc values for the mixtures with [NTf2]− are depicted against the number of alkyl carbons of the phosphonium and imidazolium cations in Figures 4 and

Figure 6. Phase diagram for [C2mim][NTf2] + [P44416][NTf2] (solid blue squares) and [C2mim][BF4] + [P44416][BF4] (open blue squares) mixtures. The solid line is regressed by eq 1. Figure 5. Critical temperature, Tc, for imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with [NTf2]− against the number of alkyl carbons of the imidazolium cation: imidazolium-based IL + [P44412][NTf2] (circle symbol), imidazolium-based IL + [P44414][NTf2] (triangle symbol), imidazolium-based IL + [P44416][NTf2] (square symbols), imidazolium-based IL + [P66614][NTf2] (diamond symbols). The solid line indicates the result of fit by a linear equation.

temperatures of the mixtures have been measured in the temperature range 253−453 K. All of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with a common anion that cause phase separation showed an upper critical solution temperature (UCST). The phase separation temperatures of the mixtures decreased with increasing alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium cation. In contrast, as the alkyl-chain length of the phosphonium cation increased, the phase separation temperatures of the mixtures increased. The Tc values for the mixtures with [NTf2]− linearly increased with increasing alkyl-chain length of the phosphonium cation and decreased with increasing the alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium cation. This shows that the Tc values are linearly dependent on the alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium and phosphonium cations. The phase separation temperatures of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with [BF4]− as a common anion were remarkably higher than those with [NTf2]−. In conclusion, the phase behavior of the imidazoliumbased IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with a common anion can be controlled by the change in the structure of the imidazolium and phosphonium cations and common anions.

cation. Interestingly, the Tc values for the [C1mim][NTf2] + phosphonium-based IL mixtures linearly increase. In fact, the Tc values for these mixtures can be well reproduced by a linear equation (the plot is given in Figure 4 as the solid line) with the correlation coefficient r2 = 0.999. On the other hand, Figure 5 shows that the Tc values decrease with increasing number of alkyl carbons of the imidazolium cation. The Tc values for the imidazolium-based IL + [P66614][NTf2] mixtures are also well reproduced by a linear equation with the correlation coefficient r2 = 0.999, showing that the Tc values linearly decrease with increasing alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium cation. These results show that the Tc values for the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with a common anion are proportional to the alkyl-chain length of the phosphonium cation and inversely proportional to the alkyl-chain length of the imidazolium cation. Figure 6 illustrates the phase diagram for the [C2mim][NTf2] + [P44416][NTf2] and [C2mim][BF4] + [P44416][BF4] mixtures to clarify the effect of a common anion on the phase behavior of the imidazolium-based IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with a common anion. The phase separation temperatures of the [C2mim][BF4] + [P44416][BF4] mixture are drastically higher than those of the [C2mim][NTf2] + [P44416][NTf2] mixture. This suggests that the imidazoliumbased IL + phosphonium-based IL mixtures with [BF4]− more easily cause phase separation than those with [NTf2]−. The same tendency is observed for other mixtures. For example, the [C3mim][BF4] + [P44412][BF4] mixture causes phase separation, whereas the [C3mim][NTf2] + [P44412][NTf2] mixture does not in the temperature range examined.
