- Book Synopsis
- The conductor-like screening model for realistic solvation (COSMO-RS) is applied to study three case studies of complex chemical systems. In the first chapter, cellulose solubility in ionic liquid (IL) solvents is considered and a molecular model for cellulose is presented for the calculation of its solubility in ILs and their mixtures with organic molecular solvents. The model is based on cellobiose units which were themselves obtained by a conformation search for a cellotetraose unit. The conformations that make up the model hence can take into account interactions of a dissolved cellulose repeating unit while making sure that the conformations are so that the repeating unit resembles a unit in the middle of a cellulose chain. It is shown that the model contains representations of all of intra-molecular hydrogen bonds as well as open hydrogen bonding sites for accepting inter-molecular ones witnessed experimentally. Relative cellulose solubilities in IL systems with cations [Amim], [Apyr], [C2OHmim], [C2OHpyr], [C2OC1mim], and [C4mim] and anions [Cl], [Br], [N(CN)2], [CH3CHOHCOO], [CH3COO], [HOCH2COO], [(C6H5)COO], [H2NCH2COO], [C2N3], [(C2H5)2PO3OH] and [HCOO] have been studied. In addition, cellulose solubility in mixtures of [C2mim][CH3COO] and 14 molecular solvents could be reproduced. Finally, a solvent screening over a large database of cation/anion pairs was carried out, providing for a design and discovery guide pertaining to novel IL systems for cellulose dissolution.
