The reaction between CO2 and chloroform in anion-functionalized ionic liquids with the formation of trichloroacetates

Here, 1,2,4-triazolide-based ionic liquids (ILs), N-ethyl-N,N-dimethyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium 1,2,4-triazolide ([MOEN211][Triz]) and tetraethylammonium 1,2,4-triazolide ([N2222][Triz]), are used to capture CO2. The interaction results suggest that CO2 reacts with the anion [Triz]– to form...
