Effect of alkyl chain length on the ultrafast vibrational dynamics of C-H stretching in 1-alkyl-3methylimidazolium ionic liquids — Mehdi M. Kazemi, Mahesh Namboodiri, Johannes Kiefer, and •Arnulf Materny — Physics and Earth Sciences, Jacobs University Bremen, Campus Ring 1, 28759 Bremen
Femtosecond time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (fs-CARS) is used to study the ultrafast vibrational dynamics in ionic liquids (ILs). The effect of increasing the alkyl chain length, n, in 1-alkyl-3methylimidazolium bis-(trifkuromethansulfonyl)imid (CnC1ImTSFI n=6,8,10,12) ionic liquid on the vibrational dynamics of C-H stretching is studied. The high frequency C-H stretching modes 2800-3000 cm−1 are excited and probed by the fs-CARS excitation around 3000 cm−1. The results show that the vibrational dynamics of the ILs depends more on the viscosity than the hydrogen bonding as the alkyl chain length increases.
