Sumario:We demonstrated in this work the use of affinity ionic liquids, AIL 1 and AIL 2, for chemoselective detection of amine and alcohol gases on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). These detections of gaseous amines and alcohols were achieved by nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions with the electrophilic 1,3,5-triazine-based AIL 1 thin-coated on quartz chips. Starting with inexpensive reagents, bicyclic imidazolium ionic liquids AIL 1 and AIL 2 were readily synthesized in six and four synthetic steps with high isolated yields: 51% and 63%, respectively. The QCM platform developed in this work is readily applicable and highly sensitive to low molecular weight amine gases: for isobutylamine gas (a bacterial volatile) at 10 Hz decrease in resonance frequency (i.e., ΔF = −10 Hz), the detectability using AIL 1 was 6.3 ppb. Our preliminary investigation on detection of the much less nucleophilic alcohol gas by AIL 1 was also promising. To our knowledge, no example to date of reports based on nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions demonstrating sensitive gas detection in these triazine ionic liquids on a QCM has been reported.
