Equilibrium acidity (pKa) scales of 15 substituted benzoic acids in four room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), BmimOTf, BmimNTf2, BmpyNTf2, and Bm2imNTf2, were established under standard conditions using a modified indicator overlapping method. The effect of homo hydrogen bonding on equilibrium acidity was calibrated, and the derived pKa values were evidenced to be free from ion-paring complication. Regression analyses demonstrated that all of the pKa scales obtained in four RTILs are linearly correlated to each other with an R value better than 0.996. These scales are also correlated well with the pKa values in DMSO and with the corresponding gas-phase acidities with regression coefficients of 0.993 and 0.992, respectively. In addition, both the cation and anion of the ionic liquids were found to play a role in affecting the acidity of carboxylic acid.
在标准条件下,使用改良的指示剂重叠法,建立了 15 种取代苯甲酸在四种室温离子液体(RTILs)中的平衡酸度(pKa)标度,BmimOTf、BmimNTf2、BmpyNTf2 和 Bm2imNTf2。校准了同质子氢键对平衡酸度的影响,得出的 pKa 值证明不受离子配对的影响。回归分析表明,在四种 RTILs 中获得的所有 pKa 标度彼此之间呈线性相关,相关系数 R 值优于 0.996。这些标度与 DMSO 中的 pKa 值以及相应气相酸度也很好地相关,回归系数分别为 0.993 和 0.992。此外,离子液体的阳离子和阴离子都被发现对羧酸的酸度有影响。
