Ionic Liquid Character of Zinc Chloride Hydrates Define Solvent Characteristics that Afford the Solubility of Cellulose

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 120(6), 1134–1141.

By: S. Sen n, B. Losey n, E. Gordon n, D. Argyropoulos n  & J. Martin n 

Contributors: S. Sen n, B. Losey n, E. Gordon n, D. Argyropoulos n  & J. Martin n 

MeSH headings : Cellulose / chemistry; Chlorides / chemistry; Ionic Liquids / chemistry; Molecular Conformation; Solubility; Solvents / chemistry; Water / chemistry; Zinc Compounds / chemistry
topics (OpenAlex): Advanced Cellulose Research Studies; Ionic liquids properties and applications; Catalysis for Biomass Conversion
TL;DR: Neutron diffraction and differential pair distribution function analysis of cellulose and model compound solutions suggest that cellulose solubility occurs via coordination of the primary OH to the hydrated zinc cation with ring hydroxyls forming part of a second coordination shell around the cation of the ionic liquid.
