The structural determination of the ionic liquid, caesium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide or poly[[μ4-bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imido]caesium(I)], Cs[N(SO2CF3)2] or Cs[Tf2N], reveals a second polymorph that also crystallizes in a layer structure possessing monoclinic P21/c symmetry at 120 K instead of C2/c for the known polymorph [Xue et al. (2002). Solid State Sci. 4, 1535–1545]. The caesium ions in the cationic layers are coordinated by the sulfonyl groups of the bistriflimide molecules from anion layers while the trifluoromethyl groups are oriented in the opposite direction, forming a non-polar surface separating the layers. The layer direction is (100).

1. Chemical context
Recently, ionic liquids (IL) with melting points below 373 K, known as room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL), have emerged as a novel system that can be used to replace processes utilizing hazardous organic solvents and provide water-free environments (Welton, 1999). The exclusion of water from RTIL can be challenging as their ionic nature predisposes a hygroscopic nature, and even so-called hydrophobic ILs can be difficult to dry (Francesco et al., 2011). Reducing the solubility of water is possible by exchanging constituent ions of the IL for those that are less hydrophilic, but this often results in higher melting points or increased viscosity (Francesco et al., 2011). The ability to change the physicochemical characteristics of ionic liquids has lead them to be praised as `tunable solvents', but is often more of a challenging act of balancing physical properties.
The substitution of bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)imide (bistriflimide, Tf2N) as the anion in ILs offers a more hydrophobic IL with lower melting point (Matsumoto et al., 2002; Sun et al., 1997). In general, anions of the triflate family are weakly coordinating when in the presence of other ligands, and interactions with metal ions may not be observed when in the presence of water. These weak interactions are due to the delocalization of charge across the molecule. The structure of bistriflimide also allows for multidentate coordination motifs when binding through the oxygen atoms, and often results in coordination of multiple metal cations. When Tf2N interactions expand beyond a single central metal atom, the ability to diffuse charge across a structure is highlighted (DesMarteau, 1995).
Cs[Tf2N] has a desirably low melting point of 398 K which is outside the conventional definition of a RTIL; however, this melting point is in the range of many well-known ILs while still being above the boiling point of water to enable convenient drying (Hagiwara et al., 2008; Scheuermeyer et al., 2016). Previous reports of alkali metals and Tf2N include Cs[Tf2N], which presents as either an anhydrate or a variety of hydrates (Xue et al., 2002). Some common structural similarities can be observed across the A[Tf2N]·nH2O (A = Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) series. The most notable feature is the formation of polar and non-polar regions that result from the coordination of multiple metal cations by the Tf2N− ion. Each of the sulfonyl groups binds to a metal cation creating a polar chain that may extend to a layer, and orientates the trifluoromethyl groups to create non-polar surfaces. Within the series, only the structures of Cs and K salts as anhydrates have been reported.
Our synthesis and analysis of Cs[Tf2N] has revealed a second layered polymorph set in P21/c in addition to the previously reported structure in C2/c (Xue et al., 2002).
2. Structural commentary
The structure develops from the various ways in which six Tf2N molecules coordinate the central 10-coordinate caesium cation (Fig. 1). The simplest coordination mode is monodentate, where one oxygen atom on one of the sulfonyl groups of the Tf2N molecule coordinates to the caesium cation. The bidentate coordination mode has two motifs. In end-on coordination, both oxygen atoms of a single sulfonyl group coordinate with Cs+, while in side-on coordination one oxygen on each of the sulfonyl groups within a Tf2N molecule coordinate with Cs+. Two of the six distinct Tf2N molecules exhibit the side-on coordination mode, and in one of them the nitrogen atom of the Tf2N molecule may come close enough to interact with the caesium cation. Examining the bond lengths in the coordination environment of the caesium cation, it is comprised of nine oxygen atoms ranging from 3.060 (2)–3.539 (3) Å and one interaction with a nitrogen atom of 3.280 (3) Å. These three different modes of Tf2N binding join the caesium cations together in a complex sheet with layers of trifluoromethyl groups above and below (Fig. 1).
As the Tf2N molecule coordinates in the this orients the trifluoromethyl groups in the opposite direction from the sulfonyl groups creating a layer of fluorine atoms. With this layer, trifluoromethyl groups have an intramolecular closest contact of 2.770 (4) Å and an intermolecular closest contact of 2.970 (4) Å. There is a fluorine–fluorine closest contact length of 3.01 Å spanning the void between the non-polar surfaces of adjacent sheets in the layered structure. These layers are easily observed parallel to (100), Fig. 2. Examining the bistriflimide molecule, the S—N—S bond angle is 127.60 (17)° resulting in an intramolecular carbon–carbon separation of 4.18 Å.
This structure of alternating layers of hydrophilic alkali metal cations bound by the sulfonyl groups and hydrophobic layers of trifluoromethyl groups closely matches the reported structures of K[Tf2N] and Cs[Tf2N] (Xue et al., 2002). The noted deviations are in the coordination environment of the Cs+ cation. For the previously reported structure of Cs[Tf2N], the caesium coordination environment is also 10; however, the oxygen interactions are generally longer by about 0.05 Å, with Cs—O bonds ranging from 3.04 (1) to 3.65 (1) Å. The lone Cs—N bond is 3.39 (1) Å, which is considerably longer than the 3.280 (3) Å bond length observed in the current structure. This extension of bond lengths is reflected in the bistriflimide molecule where the S—N—S bond angle is contracted to 126.38 and the intramolecular carbon–carbon separation is shortened to 4.08 Å. As the molecule shifts, so does the orientation of the trifluoromethyl groups, resulting in an intramolecular closest contact of 2.72 Å and an intermolecular closest contact of 2.96 Å. The shift also extends to the void between the non-polar surface of adjacent sheets, where fluorine–fluorine closest contacts are observed at 2.69 Å spanning the void. While the void space between layers appears reduced, the overall structure has a calculated density of 2.58 g cm−3 (Xue et al., 2002), less dense than the calculated 2.65 g cm−3 of the more compact current structure.
The Cs[Tf2N] purity was confirmed by melting point measurements that closely match literature values, showing an onset temperature of 397 K and complete melting at 399 K (Hagiwara et al., 2008; Scheuermeyer et al., 2016). Additional Raman analysis (Fig. 3), shows a number of features that closely match the reported spectra for Tf2N− in water and solid-state measurements made on HTf2N, confirming the presence of the Tf2N molecule (Rey et al., 1998). To elucidate bands that signify interactions with metal cations, a comparison to the reported Raman spectra of La[Tf2N]3(H2O)3 (Bhatt et al., 2005) was made. The major bands and assignments of all compounds in the comparisons are reported in Table 1. The additional bands observed at 535 and 507 cm−1 for Cs[Tf2N] suggest multiple SO2 bending modes associated with multiple coordination modes of Tf2N. In particular, the band at 507 cm−1 for Cs[Tf2N] matches with a 511 cm−1 band in La[Tf2N]3(H2O)3 suggesting a tentative assignment to a down-shift of the SO2 bending mode by the bidentate side-on coordination of the Tf2N molecule, observed in both structures.

3. Synthesis and crystallization
All reagents were used as received without further purification. 20.281 g of caesium carbonate (Alfa Aesar, 99.9%) were dissolved in 20 ml of deionized water. 26.26 ml of 4.74 molar bistriflimide acid (Alfa Aesar, 98.0%) were slowly added to the caesium carbonate solution, resulting in vigorous release of carbon dioxide. The solution was then placed in a sand bath at 403 K under stirring at approximately 100 rotations per minute. After four h, the temperature was reduced to 378 K. While the liquid cooled, the stirring deposited droplets of the ionic liquid on the sides of the beaker resulting in rapid crystallization. These crystals were harvested and suitable crystals were selected for diffraction. Yield was estimated at 95% based on mass.
3.1. Experimental
Raman measurements were collected using a Thermo Scientific DXRxi Raman Imaging Microscope. A 532 nm laser was focused on the sample surface through a 10x objective providing a spot size of 1 um and the collection consisted of 200 scans at 10 mW for 0.25 seconds each.
Melting point data were collected on a Büchi M-560, where two glass sample tubes were filled with 4–5mm of sample and the temperature was ramped at a rate of 0.5 K per minute.

Experimental. Single crystal data for [Cs][Tf2N] were collected on a Bruker D8 Quest diffractometer, with CMOS detector in shutterless mode. The crystal was cooled to 100 K employing an Oxford Cryostream liquid nitrogen cryostat. The diffractometer was equipped with graphite monochromatized MoKa (λ= 0.71073 Å) radiation. A hemisphere of data was collected using omega scans and 0.5° frame widths. Data collection and initial indexing and cell refinement were handled using APEX II1 (Bruker, 2014)software. Frame integration, including Lorentz-polarization corrections, and final cell parameter calculations were carried out using SAINT+ software (Bruker, 2014). The data were corrected for absorption using redundant reflections and the SADABS (Bruker, 2014)program. Decay of reflection intensity was not observed as monitored via analysis of redundant frames. The structure was solved using Direct methods and difference Fourier techniques. |
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |

Comparison of observed Raman shifts in cm-1 from Tf2N-containing compounds. Band wave numbers given in bold are unassigned and in italicized are from reanalysis of reported spectra for La[Tf2N]3(H2O)3. Major band assignments are given with ν (stretching), δ (bending), ω (wagging), τ (twisting) and ρ (rocking) and planar designations are i.p. for in plane and o.p. for out of plane. |
