Nevertheless, its application is frequently associated with trial and error approaches. Thereupon, detailed knowledge on the thermal behavior is the key information for understanding the reactivity of [C4C1im]BF4. 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate behaves as a glass in the cold, its glass transition temperature being ϑg = -83 °C. During heating with 10 K·min-1 [C4C1im]BF4 appears to be stable above 350 °C with onset temperatures ϑonset, DSC = 375 °C, ϑonset, DTG = 422 °C, and ϑonset, TG = 437 °C. Thereby, thermal decomposition occurs in a single step reaction forming 1-methyl-1H-imidazole (CH3C3H3N2 or C4H6N2), but-1-ene (C4H8), fluoromethane (CH3F) and boron trifluoride (BF3) as main species, as determined by thermogravimetry coupled with mass spectrometry and FTIR spectroscopy. To be more specific in thermal behavior, the temperature and time dependent stability is evaluated here on the basis of the kinetic model of maximum operation temperature - MOT. Clearly, thermal stability rises with application time, thus being 193 °C for one hour, while reaching only 141 °C for one day, and 114 °C for one week. The incipient decomposition (≤ 1 \%) at the calculated time dependent maximum operation temperature finally is verified by optical analysis, infrared (IR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.}, language = {en} } @misc{KnorrSchmidt, author = {Knorr, Monika and Schmidt, Peer}, title = {Reactivity of ionic liquids: Reductive effect of [C4C1im]BF4 to form particles of red amorphous selenium and Bi2Se3 from oxide precursors}, series = {ChemistryOpen}, volume = {10}, journal = {ChemistryOpen}, number = {2}, issn = {2191-1363}, doi = {10.1002/open.202000264}, pages = {125 -- 140}, abstract = {Temperature-induced change in reactivity of the frequently used ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C4C1im]BF4) is presented as a prerequisite for the rational screening of reaction courses in material synthesis. [C4C1im]BF4 becomes active with oxidic precursor compounds in reduction reaction at ϑ > 200°C, even without the addition of an external reducing agent. The reaction mechanism of forming red amorphous selenium from SeO2 is investigated as a model system and can be described similarly to the Riley oxidation. The reactive species but-1-ene, which is formed during the decomposition of [C4C1im]BF4, reacts with SeO2 and form but-3-en-2-one, water, and selenium. Elucidation of the mechanism was achieved by thermoanalytical investigations. The mono-tropic phase transition of selenium was analyzed by the differential scanning calorimetry. Beyond, the suitability of the single source oxide precursor Bi2Se3O9 for the synthesis of Bi2Se3 particles was confirmed. Identification, characterization of formed solids succeeded by using light microscopy, XRD, SEM, and EDX.}, language = {en} } @misc{VinokurovaKnorrEfimovaetal., author = {Vinokurova, Ekaterina and Knorr, Monika and Efimova, Anastasia and Ovchinnikov, Alexander and Schmidt, Peer and B{\"u}chner, Bernd and Isaeva, Anna and Roslova, Maria}, title = {Microstructural evolution of layered K-doped RuCl3 during annealing traced by thermogravimetric analysis and 3D electron diffraction}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Anorgische und Allgemeine Chemie}, volume = {649}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Anorgische und Allgemeine Chemie}, number = {19}, issn = {0044-2313}, doi = {10.1002/zaac.202300141}, pages = {1 -- 8}, abstract = {Nanoscale phase separation was induced in the K-doped RuCl3 van der Waals material by annealing, and studied with the goal to find a natural design strategy for the formation of two-dimensional architectures as an alternative to the costly and time-consuming experimental artificial growth methods.
