Abstract

Two fluorine-containing ionic liquids, 1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-3-methylimidazolium tosylate and 1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI anion), were obtained in good yields and high purity via a green pathway procedure free of solvent and hazardous catalyst. The incorporation of CF3 moieties in imidazolium structure decreases the ILs TFSI melting point. The preliminary electrochemical results are very promising, a wide electrochemical stability up to 5.7V vs Li+/Li for the fluorinated imidazolium with TFSI anion.
