3-methyl-1-octyl-4-phenyl-triazolium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide

Key Applications:

• 1. Electrochemical Systems

  • High‑stability electrolyte component in lithium, sodium, and multivalent ion batteries, leveraging the TFSI anion’s wide electrochemical window and the triazolium cation’s thermal robustness.
  • Ionic liquid additive for improving interfacial stability, SEI formation, and high‑temperature cycling performance.
  • Redox‑active medium for flow batteries and electrochemical reactors where aromatic substitution enhances charge‑transfer behavior.

  2. Catalysis and Organic Synthesis

  • Non‑volatile reaction medium for transition‑metal catalysis, including C–C and C–N coupling, where the phenyl‑substituted triazolium ring improves catalyst solubility and turnover.
  • Phase‑transfer catalyst in biphasic systems, benefiting from the long C8 chain and aromatic ring that tune hydrophobicity.
  • Stabilizing medium for carbene generation, particularly N‑heterocyclic carbene (NHC) chemistry, where triazolium precursors are valued for controlled deprotonation and ligand formation.

  3. Separation Science and Extraction

  • Selective extraction agent for metal ions (e.g., rare earths, transition metals), with the phenyl group enhancing π‑interactions and the TFSI anion providing low coordinating behavior.
  • Solvent for liquid–liquid extraction of hydrophobic organics, dyes, and aromatic compounds.
  • Stationary‑phase modifier in chromatography, enabling tunable polarity and enhanced retention of aromatic analytes.

  4. Materials Science and Polymer Integration

  • Plasticizer or ionic dopant in polymer electrolytes, ionogels, and conductive films.
  • Template or structure‑directing agent in nanoparticle synthesis, especially for noble metals where aromatic cations influence particle morphology.
  • Component in self‑assembled materials, leveraging amphiphilic behavior from the octyl chain and aromatic ring.

  5. Spectroscopy, Sensors, and Analytical Uses

  • Medium for spectroelectrochemical studies, offering high optical transparency and low volatility.
  • Ionic liquid matrix for sensors detecting aromatic pollutants or metal ions, where π‑stacking enhances analyte affinity.
  • Stabilizing environment for fluorescence and Raman studies requiring low background and high thermal stability.

  6. High‑Temperature and Vacuum Applications

  • Heat‑transfer and thermal‑stability medium in controlled environments where non‑flammability and low vapor pressure are essential.
  • Lubrication additive for high‑vacuum or high‑temperature systems, benefiting from TFSI’s chemical inertness.
