In this paper, the authors calculated and experimental Raman spectra of the (EMI+)TFSI− ionic liquid, where EMI+ is the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation and TFSI− the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion, have been investigated for a better understanding of the conformational isomerism as a function of temperature.Abstract:
The calculated and experimental Raman spectra of the (EMI+)TFSI− ionic liquid, where EMI+ is the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation and TFSI− the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion, have been investigated for a better understanding of the EMI+ and TFSI− conformational isomerism as a function of temperature. Characteristic Raman lines of the planar (p) and non-planar (np) EMI+ conformers are identified using the reference (EMI+)Br− salt. The anion conformer of C2 symmetry is confirmed to be more stable than the cis (C1) one by 4.5 ± 0.2 kJ mol−1. At room temperature, the population of trans (C2) anions and np cations is 75 ± 2% and 87 ± 4%, respectively. Fast cooling quenches a metastable glassy phase composed of mainly C2 anion conformers and p cation conformers, whereas slow cooling gives a crystalline phase composed of C1 anion conformers and of np cation conformers.

TL;DR: The solvation structure of the lithium ion in room-temperature ionic liquids 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide and BMP(+0TFSI(-)) has been studied by Raman spectroscopy and DFT calculations and it is concluded that the C(1) conformer is more preferred to the C-2 conformer in the vicinity of the Lithium ion.

Density‐functional thermochemistry. III. The role of exact exchange
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical exchange correlation functional with local spin density, gradient, and exact exchange terms was proposed. But this functional performed significantly better than previous functionals with gradient corrections only, and fits experimental atomization energies with an impressively small average absolute deviation of 2.4 kcal/mol.
