Investigation of the intrinsic electric field of nonhydroxyl and hydroxyl ionic liquids by vibrational Stark effect spectroscopy

Abstract

Electric fields of ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated by vibrational Stark effect spectroscopy using ethyl thiocyanate as a probe molecule. It was found that the stretching vibration of C[triple bond, length as m-dash]N in nonhydroxyl ILs originates exclusively from the intrinsic electric fields, which are on average 3.0 MV cm−1 higher than those of molecular solvents. In contrast, in the case of hydroxyl functional ILs, hydrogen bonding as well as the electric field contribute to the IR shift of C[triple bond, length as m-dash]N.
