To determine the chemical reactions and molecular species formed during the solvation of carbon dioxide in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate at low gas fractions.
Examined carbon dioxide solvation in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate at a 0.27 molar fraction using 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR spectroscopy.
Tested the effects of water contamination up to a 0.15 molar fraction and monitored resonance changes across varying temperatures.
Carboxylation of the ionic liquid produced approximately 16% 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-2-carboxylate alongside acetic acid that assembled into stable cyclic dimers.
Water contamination up to 0.15 molar fraction did not prevent carboxylate formation but promoted secondary reaction pathways that formed bicarbonate byproducts.

Implication

Spectroscopic analysis reveals direct carboxylation of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate by carbon dioxide, indicating chemical reaction rather than simple physical solvation.
