We performed quantum-chemical calculations by means of density functional theory (DFT) on single ion pairs from imidazolium-based ionic liquids. Thereby we varied the alkyl-chains attached to the imidazolium cation, e.g. from ethyl to octyl at the 1-position, as well as the anion from small like Cl−, Br− and BF4− to more complex like Tf2N−.
By means of the calculated density of states (DOS) projected to the contributions of single atoms, we could directly correlate our theoretical results to experimental XPS data [1], in particular the chemical shifts and splittings of the carbon and nitrogen 1s core level emission.
