| Abstract: | The mixing states of room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) H2O mixtures (x = 0.0 mol pct to 99.5 mol pct H2O) were investigated using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and optical absorption in an ultraviolet and visible (UV-vis) region. The RTIL is N, N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl) ammonium tetrafluoroborate, [DEME][BF4]. In a “prepeak” region of the WAXS, the scattered intensities increased at 85 mol pct to 95 mol pct. A medium-range order (MRO) in the liquid structure as observed in network-forming materials developed markedly. In the SAXS experiments, we can detect nanoscale fluctuations relating to polar and nonpolar regions. At 65 mol pct to 85 mol pct, the SAXS intensity increased unexpectedly. Furthermore, entirely different optical absorption spectra in the UV-vis region were observed as a macroscopic property from 90 mol pct to 95 mol pct. We suppose that these anomalies relate to the MRO of the liquid structure. All anomalies probably are induced by an intrinsic property in [DEME][BF4]-H2O mixtures. |
