I prepared dicyanide anion based ionic liquids from an iodine anion containing salt, Whatever happened due to some percentage of iodine in the ionic liquid, gave a dark brown color. Please tell me how to avoid this
I presume you mean Dicyanoamide, in this case I would suggest either to extract the iodine with an organic solvent such as ether, or to change your synthetic route.
When I synthesized other strutures using Finkelstein reaction, I used 5% of sodium thiosulphate aqueous solution to wash away the excessive iodine. I don't know whether your product is stable to this solution, but you can try in small amount first.
this is simply an exchange reaction I hope............ Due to incomplete exchange of Iodine,,,,,,,,it results dark color...... You can easily avoid it if you do the same experiment in presence of excess amount of cyanide source............
Sajal, is correct because during metathesis, water is used in reaction during that time some percentage of iodine is remain in product i.e i should try to use excess of silver dicyanamide.
well, filtering your IL every 3 days until all of the reduced Ag is removed is also an option, I was going for the cleanest, cheapest and simplest way.
I ran into something similar with C1C1ImNTf2 from C1C1ImI.
You have the IL, some water from metathesis...add benzene then reflux it...you'll get a nice purple colored benzene. Remove the top layer, repeat the extraction couple of times and get the clean IL.
Another suggestion: iodide left under light and air turns to iodine; iodine can be easily removed with active carbon; easy and definitive; carbon is difficult to regenerate and has to be disposed
