Towards induction of charge-transfer complexation in ionic liquid systems Jiajun Sun (8815641) PUREID: 473468751 Charge-transfer complexes are formed by the interactions of electron donor and electron acceptor functions. In this work, a series of imidazolium-based ionic liquids functionalised with electron-rich aromatic groups have been synthesised and their potential to form binary ionic liquid eutectic mixtures exhibiting charge-transfer complex characteristics when combined with ‘electron-withdrawing’ cyanopyridinium cations has been investigated. It was determined that CT complex formation is unfavourable due to competing cation-cation coulombic repulsions between pairs of cations and an alternative approach to generate solely ionic liquid CT complexes by including both electron donors and acceptor in a single aromatic-functionalized cyanopyridinium cation was also investigated. 2026-10-01T16:51:06Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32635176.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Towards_induction_of_charge-transfer_complexation_in_ionic_liquid_systems/32635176 All Rights Reserved
