文摘
The chemical shift of xenon (at natural abundance) dissolved in a variety of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) has been measured with 129Xe NMR spectroscopy. The large chemical shift differences observed are mainly related to the type of anion; the strongest deshielding effect is observed ILs with I鈥?/sup>, Br鈥?/sup>, and Cl鈥?/sup> anions, and the strongest shielding is found for the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Tf2N]鈭?/sup>)-based IL. The measured 129Xe chemical shift variations correlate well with the IL structure organization imposed by the anions and with the size of the empty voids due to charge alternation patterns. Descriptors taken from literature data on X-ray and neutron scattering, as well as single-crystal structures where available, support this interpretation. The proposed methodology adds a new investigating tool to the elucidation of the short-range order in ILs. The observed chemical shift trend provides information about how these solvents are organized.
