CO2 capture by imidazolium-based deep eutectic solvents: the effect of steric hindrance of N-heterocyclic carbenes

Abstract

CO2 capture by deep eutectic solvents (DESs) formed between 1,3-bis(isopropyl)imidazolium 1,2,4-triazolide ([IiPim][Triz]) and ethylene glycol (EG) is investigated in this study. [IiPim][Triz]-EG DESs exhibit a capacity of ∼1.0 mol CO2 per mol DES at 1.0 atm and 25 °C. Surprisingly, mechanistic results disclose that CO2 reacts with EG but does not bind with the C-2 site of the [IiPim]+ cation, which may be due to the high steric hindrance of the C-2 site of the N-heterocyclic carbene IiPim present in [IiPim][Triz]-EG DESs.
