Abstract

A range of dialkylimidazolium organotrifluoroborate ionic liquids were prepared by anion metathesis from newly available potassium organotrifluoroborate salts, and their physical properties were characterized by TGA, DSC, and STA. Thermal decomposition was subsequently investigated under vacuum with direct insertion mass spectrometry to determine whether thermolysis was a viable route to prepare N-heterocyclic carbene organofluoroborates, which are an important class of emerging compounds. Several key targets were identified, which highlighted the potential to shortcut complex synthetic methodologies otherwise required to access such molecules.
