Abstract
We performed terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy of imidazolium-based, pyridinium-based, and tetraalkylammonium-based tetrafluoroborate ionic liquids to study their characteristic intermolecular and intramolecular vibrational modes to clarify interactions between various cations and the tetrafluoroborate anion. It was found that the central frequency of the intermolecular vibrational band for these ionic liquids has a relatively high frequency, ranging from 90 to 100 cm–1. In the 900–1150 cm–1 range, the intramolecular vibrational absorption band of the 3-fold degenerate mode of tetrafluoroborate anions in the ionic liquids was observed. Although the tetrafluoroborate anion is attributable to one of the weakly coordinated anions, the spectroscopic splitting behavior of the 3-fold degenerate mode differs depending on the cation species. It was revealed that the degenerate mode is very sensitive to local interactions between the tetrafluoroborate anion and each cation.
