Hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions in imidazolium-chloride ionic liquid clusters.

A systematic electronic structure analysis of hydrogen bonding (H-bonding), anion-π(+) and π(+)-π(+) interactions present in [C1C1im]Cl ion-pairs (IPs) and selected [C1C1im]2Cl2 IP-dimers has been carried out. Interactions have been characterised using a combination of QTAIM, NCIPLOT, NBO and qualitative MO theory. IP-dimers form non-directional charge quadrupolar arrangements due to Coulombic interactions. These are found to associate either as clusters or as loosely associated IP-IP structures. Large conformational changes are found to occur for very little cost in energy, indicating that charge screening is essentially independent of the cation ring orientation. H-bond formation is accompanied by charge transfer and polarisation of the entire [C1C1im](+) ring. Charge transfer does not follow the same trend for the CHelpG, QTAIM and NBO methods. Weak "stacked" π(+)-π(+) interactions are stabilised in the presence of anions, which locate between and at the periphery of the rings, novel strongly bent H-bonds are also present. Primary (ring; C-H···Cl(-)) H-bonds and anion-π(+) (C(2)···Cl(-)) interactions are found to decay more rapidly with distance than secondary (aliphatic; C(M)-H···Cl(-)) H-bonds. This leads to an increase in the relative importance of secondary H-bond interactions in the IP-dimers. Moreover, rotation of the methyl groups within the "stacked" π(+)-π(+) IP-dimers facilitates the formation of (stronger) linear secondary H-bonds. Thus, compared to isolated IPs, secondary H-bonds may play an increased role within the condensed phase. Overall we find that structural fluidity is facilitated by fluctuating hydrogen bond, π(+)-π(+) and anion-π(+) interactions.
