Abstract

A Raman spectroscopy study of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, {[}C(2)C(1)im]{[}HSO4], as a function of temperature, has been performed to reveal the role played by anion-anion hydrogen bond on the phase transitions of this ionic liquid. Anion-anion hydrogen bonding implies high viscosity, good glass forming ability, and also moderate fragility of {[}C(2)C(1)im]{[}HSO4] in comparison with other ionic liquids. Heating {[}C(2)C(1)im]{[}HSO4] from the glassy phase results in cold crystallization at similar to 245 K. A solid-solid transition (crystal I -> crystal II) is barely discernible in calorimetric measurements at typical heating rates, but it is clearly revealed by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Raman spectroscopy indicates that crystal I has extended ({[}HSO4](-))(n) chains of hydrogen-bonded anions but crystal II has not. Raman spectra recorded at isothermal condition show the ultraslow dynamics of cold crystallization, solid-solid transition, and continuous melting of {[}C(2)C(1)im]{[}HSO4]. A brief comparison is also provided between {[}C(2)C(1)im]{[}HSO4] and {[}C(4)C(1)im]{[}HSO4], as Raman spectroscopy shows that the latter does not form the crystalline phase with extended anion-anion chains.
