Can Marcus theory be applied to redox processes in ionic liquids? A comparative simulation study of dimethylimidazolium liquids and acetonitrile
Article Abstract:
The simulations of a model system of charged spherical ions in the ionic liquids dimethylimidazolium chloride ([dmim][Cl]), dimethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([dmim][P[F.sub.6]]) and the polar liquid acetonitrile (MeCN) are used for examining the applicability of Marcus theory to electrochemical half-cell redox processes in these liquids. The similarities between the different types of solvent are attributed to the essentially long-range nature of the relevant interactions and the effectiveness of the screening of the ion potential.

Calculation of the microscopic and microscopic linear and nonlinear optical properties of liquid acetonitrile. II. Local fields and linear and nonlinear susceptibilities in quadrupolar approximation
Article Abstract:
The electrostatic interactions in liquid acetonitrile are described using a discrete model based on the multipolar expansion including terms up to hexadecapoles. It is found that the permanent local field is dominated by the dipole-dipole interactions although the contribution of the higher multipoles is not negligible for accurate predictions.
