• The interaction energy decreases with the increase of side-chain length in anion.
• The interactions are electrostatic in the nature.
• The side-chain length has an important effect on the contribution of Eelect term.
• The H-bond interactions between cation and anion are noncovalent interaction.
In this study, ionic liquids formed between 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation ([emim]+) and alkyl-trifluoroborate ([RBF3]−, R = n-CmH2m+1 (m = 1–5)) anions have been investigated theoretically. The interactions between the cation and anions have also been calculated at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The calculated interaction energies were found to decrease in magnitude with the increase of side-chain length in anions. The results of energy decomposition analysis (EDA) show that the interaction of these anions with [emim]+ cation is electrostatic in the nature and the side chain length in the anions has an important effect on the contribution of ΔEelect term. The H-bonds in the most stable ion pairs occur between fluorine atoms of anion and hydrogen atoms of methyl, ethyl groups and the hydrogen atom on the imidazolium ring (C2H). These H-bonds were also considered by quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM).
The interaction between 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation [emim]+ and alkyl-trifluoroborate ([RBF3]−, R = n-CmH2m+1 (m = 1–5)) anions can occur in the regions of S1–S5.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
