Chirality transfer is observed from (R)-1,2-propylene oxide to the achiral anion of the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquid. This observation is important as it demonstrates selectivity and shows that anion effects are predominant in this system. Molecular dynamics simulations and spectroscopic analysis reveal an excess of one conformer in the presence of the chiral solute, leading to optical activity of the anion.
Chirality transfer from the chiral molecule (R)-1,2-propylene oxide to the achiral anion of the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquid is observed. The chiral probe selectively affects one part of the binary ionic liquid, i. e., it has previously been shown experimentally and theoretically that this particular imidazolium cation can be affected by chirality transfer, but in the present system chirality is almost exclusively transferred to the anion and not to both parts of the solvent (anion and cation). This observation is of high relevance because of its selectivity and because anion effects are usually much more important in ionic liquid research than cation effects. From ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, a conformational analysis and dissected vibrational circular dichroism spectra are obtained to study the chirality transfer. While in the neat ionic liquid two mirror imaged trans conformers of the anion occur almost equally, we observe an excess of one of these conformers in the presence of the chiral solute, causing optical activity of the anion. Although the cis conformers are not tremendously affected by the chirality transfer, they gain in total population when (R)-1,2-propylene oxide is dissolved in the ionic liquid.
