Thermochemistry of Alkyl Pyridinium Bromide Ionic Liquids: Calorimetric Measurements and Calculations† Bo Tong,† Qing-Shan Liu,‡ Zhi-Cheng Tan,*,‡,§ and Urs Welz-Biermann*,‡ Department of Chemistry, School of Chemical Engineering, Dalian UniVersity of Technology, Dalian 116023, China, and China Ionic Liquid Laboratory and Thermochemistry Laboratory, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian 116023, China ReceiVed: May 21, 2009; ReVised Manuscript ReceiVed: June 22, 2009

Two ionic liquids, 1-ethylpyridinium bromide (EPBr) and 1-propylpyridinium bromide (PPBr), were prepared and the structures were characterized by 1H NMR. The thermodynamic properties of EPBr and PPBr were studied with adiabatic calorimetry (AC) and thermogravimatric analysis (TG-DTG). The heat capacity was precisely measured in the temperature range from 78 to 410 K by means of a fully automated adiabatic calorimeter. For EPBr, the melting temperature, enthalpy, and entropy of solid-liquid phase transition were determined to be 391.31 ( 0.28 K, 12.77 ( 0.09 kJ · mol-1, and 32.63 ( 0.22 J · K-1 · mol-1, respectively, and for PPBr they were 342.83 ( 0.69 K, 10.97 ( 0.05 kJ · mol-1, and 32.00 ( 0.10 J · K-1 · mol-1, respectively. The thermodynamic functions (HT0 - H0298.15) and (ST0 - S0298.15) were derived from the heat capacity data in the experimental temperature range with an interval of 5 K. The thermostablility of the compounds was further studied by TGA measurements. The phase change behavior and thermodynamic properties were compared and estimated in a series of alkyl pyridinium bromide ionic liquids. Results indicate that EPBr has higher melting and decomposition temperature, as well as phase transition enthalpy and entropy but lower heat capacity than PPBr due to their different molecular structures. 1. Introduction Ionic liquids are attracting increasing attention in many fields including organic chemistry,1-4 electrochemistry,2,5,6 catalysis,7-9 physical chemistry, and engineering10-14 with their special physical and chemical properties, such as low vapor pressure, low inflammability, high inherent conductivities, thermal stability, liquidity over a wide temperature range, easy recycling, and being a good solvent for a wide variety of organic and inorganic chemical compounds. The physicochemical properties of an ionic liquid vary greatly depending on the molecular structure, for example, miscibility with water and organic solvents, melting point, and viscosity.15-17 Besides, ionic liquids are “designable” as structural modifications in both the cation and anion permit the possibility to design task-specific applications when the ionic liquid contains a specific functionality covalently incorporated in either the cation or anion.4 Alkyl pyridinium bromide ionic liquids, which are easy to synthesize and purify, are one of them and show good perspective in the applications of extraction and separation processes, synthetic chemistry, catalysis, and materials science.18-20 However, most scientists focus on the synthesis and application of ionic liquids while few researchers put their efforts on the fundamental thermodynamic studies.10,20-23 As far as we know, the thermodynamic properties of ionic liquids, such as heat capacity Cp,m, glass transition temperature Tg, melting temperature Tm, thermal decomposition † Part of the special issue “Green Chemistry in Energy Production Symposium”. * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

temperature Tdecomp, enthalpy, and entropy of phase transitions are important properties that reflect the structures and stabilities of compounds but were rarely reported until now. In the present study, two ionic liquids 1-ethylpyridinium bromide (EPBr, CAS NO. 1906-79-2) and 1-propylpyridinium bromide (PPBr, CAS NO. 873-71-2) were prepared and the structures were characterized by 1H NMR. The thermodynamic properties of EPBr and PPBr were studied with adiabatic calorimetry (AC) and thermogravimatric analysis (TG-DTG). The phase change behavior and thermodynamic properties were compared and estimated in the series alkyl pyridinium bromide ionic liquids, which were very important in the industry and application of alkyl pyridinium bromide ionic liquids. 2. Experimental Section 2.1. Materials. All reagents were of commercial origin with purities >99.5%. 1-Bromopropane (AR grade, Sinopharm Chemical Regent Co., China), pyridine, and 1-bromoethane (AR grade, Tianjin Damao Chemical Reagent Co., China) were distilled before use. After absorbing the water by molecular sieves, ethyl acetate (AR grade, Tianjin Kemiou Chemical Reagent Co., China) and acetonitrile (AR grade, Tianjin Fengchuan Chemical Reagent Co., China) were distilled and used in the synthesis process. 2.2. Preparation of EPBr and PPBr ILs. Pyridine (1 mol) was placed in a 500 mL round-bottomed flask and stirred, and 1-bromoethane or 1-bromopropane (1.1 mol) was added dropwise into the flask at 70 °C. A slight excess of the 1-bromoethyl or 1-bromopropane was used to guarantee the consumption of pyridine. Ethyl acetate (80 mL) was added to reduce the viscosity of the mixture, which was left to stir under reflux at 70 °C for 48 h. The halide salt separated as a second phase

The 1H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker-400 Hz spectrometer and chemical shifts were reported in parts per million using DMSO as a solvent. 2.4. Adiabatic Calorimetry (AC). Heat capacity measurements were carried out in a high-precision automated adiabatic calorimeter24-26 which was established by Thermochemistry Laboratory of Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in PR China. To verify the reliability of the adiabatic calorimeter, the molar heat capacities for Standard Reference Material 720, Synthetic Sapphire (R-Al2O3) were measured. The deviations of our experimental results from the recommended values by NIST27 were within (0.1% in the temperature range of 80-390 K.

The TG measurements of the sample were carried out by a thermogravimetric analyzer (Model: TGA/ SDTA 851e, Mettler Toledo, Switzerland) under N2 with a flow rate of 40 mL · min-1 at the heating rate of 10 K · min-1 from 300 to 580 K, respectively. The sample mass of 7.45 mg (EPBr) and 6.37 mg (PPBr) were filled into alumina crucible without pressing, respectively. 3. Results and Discussion 3.1. 1H NMR of EPBr and PPBr ILs. The 1H NMR spectra δH (400 MHz, DMSO) of two ILs are listed in Table A of the Supporting Information. Analysis of EPBr and PPBr by 1H NMR resulting in spectra (see Figure A of the Supporting Information) is in good agreement with the literature28 and does not find impurities. 3.2. Low-Temperature Heat Capacity. Experimental molar heat capacities of two ILs measured by the adiabatic calorimeter over the experimental temperature range are listed in Table 1 and plotted in Figure 1, respectively. From Figure 1a (EPBr), a smoothed curve with no endothermic or exothermic peaks was observed from the liquid nitrogen

temperature to 380 K, which indicated that the sample was thermostable in this temperature range. From 380 to 400 K, a sharply endothermic peak corresponding to a melting process was observed with the peak temperature 391.31 K. The melting process was repeated twice and the melting temperature was determined to be 391.31 ( 0.28 K according to the three experimental results. The values of experimental heat capacities can be fitted to the following polynomial equations with least-squares method.29 Before the fusion (8-380 K) 0 Cp,m /J · K-1 · mol-1 ) 160.770 + 120.380x + 43.911x2 -

However, from Figure 1b (PPBr), an endothermic step corresponding to a glass transition occurred at the glass transition temperature Tg ) 171.595 K. A sharply endothermic peak corresponding to a melting process was observed with the peak temperature 342.83 K. The melting process was repeated twice and the melting temperature was determined to be 342.83 ( 0.69 K according to the two experimental results. Similarly, the values of experimental heat capacities were fitted to the following polynomial equations with least-squares method.

For PPBr, the calculation of thermodynamic functions is the same with EPBr before and after the melting. Moreover, the glass transition was included in the calculation. 0 , ST0 The standard thermodynamic functions, HT0 - H298.15 0 S298.15 of the two ILs, are listed in Table 2. 3.4. The Thermostability Tested by TG-DTG. The TGDTG curves shown in Figure 2 indicated that the mass loss of EPBr was completed in a single step. The sample keeps thermostable below 470 K. It begins to lose weight at about 480 K, reaches the maximum rate of weight loss at 541.229 K and completely loses its weight when the temperature reaches 575 K. Similar one-step decomposition process occurs for PPBr beginning at about 460 K and finishing at about 570 K while the peak temperature of decomposition is 536.021K. 3.5. Comparison and Estimation of Thermodynamic Properties for Alkyl Pridinium Bromide Ionic Liquids. According to experimental data in Sections 3.3-3.4, the thermodynamic properties as well as the structure of EPBr and PPBr were compared and estimated as follows: (a) Molar heat capacity Cp,m(EPBr) < Cp,m(PPBr) reveals that EPBr has lower lattice energy than PPBr in low temperature due to shorter carbon chain in pyridinium cation of EPBr. (b) Melting temperature Tm(EPBr) > Tm(PPBr) and phase transition enthalpy ∆Hm (EPBr) > ∆Hm(PPBr) are possibly because of the fact that the H-π bond effects of pyridinium cation played the major role in ionic compounds.30 The more carbonyl group added in the cation, the more the steric hindrance strengthened, which results in a decrease of the melting temperature and enthalpy. (c) Thermal decomposition temperature Tdecomp(EPBr) > Tdecomp(PPBr) indicates that EPBr is more thermostable than PPBr which is favorable in practical applications for EPBr. Conclusions Two ionic liquids 1-ethylpyridinium bromide (EPBr) and 1-propylpyridinium bromide (PPBr) were prepared and characterized. The structure and purity were verified by 1H NMR. The thermodynamic properties of EPBr and PPBr were studied with adiabatic calorimetry and thermogravimatric analysis. The phase change behavior and thermodynamic properties were compared and estimated in the series of alkyl pyridinium

J. Phys. Chem. A, Vol. 114, No. 11, 2010 3787 bromide ionic liquids. Results indicate that EPBr has higher melting and thermal decomposition temperature and phase transition enthalpy and entropy but lower heat capacity than PPBr due to the different molecular structures.
