Determination of the Lewis acidity of amide-AlCl3 based ionic liquid analogues by combined in situ IR titration and NMR methods

摘要

A combinatorial method to determine both acidic strength and acidic amount of each Lewis acid site in amide-AlCl3 based ionic liquid (IL) analogues was developed by the combination of in situ IR titration and NMR analysis. P-31 NMR was used to distinguish effectively the acidic strength of each Lewis acid site in the amide-AlCl3 based IL analogues. Nitrobenzene was used as a molecular probe to measure the total Lewis acidic amount of the amide-AlCl3 based IL analogues by in situ IR titration. The acidic amount of each Lewis acid site in the amide-AlCl3 based IL analogues was calculated with the assistance of Al-27 NMR analysis.
