Abstract
In this study, we investigated the water concentration dependence of the intermolecular vibrations of two hydrated ionic liquids (ILs), cholinium dihydrogen phosphate ([ch][dhp]) and cholinium bromide ([ch]Br), using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES). The anions of the former and latter hydrated ILs are kosmotropic and chaotropic, respectively. We found that the spectral peak of ∼50 cm-1 shifted to the low-frequency side in hydrated [ch][dhp], indicating the weakening of its intermolecular interactions. In contrast, no change in the peak frequency of the low-frequency band at ∼50 cm-1 was observed with increasing water concentration in hydrated [ch]Br. The vibrational density of states (VDOS) spectra generated from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were in qualitative agreement with the experimental results. Decomposition analysis of the VDOS spectra for each component revealed that the red shift of the low-frequency band in the hydrated [ch][dhp] upon water addition was essentially due to the contributions of anions and water rather than that of the cholinium cation. We also found from the low-frequency spectra of the two hydrated ILs that they differed in the concentration dependence of the 180 cm-1 band, which is assigned as a hindered translational motion of water molecules combined to form O···O stretching motions. From the relationship between the peak frequency of the low-frequency band and the bulk parameter, which is the square root of the surface tension divided by the density, we found that the peak frequency in the hydrated IL with kosmotropic [dhp]- depends on the bulk parameter, similar to the case for an aqueous solution of the typical deep eutectic solvent reline. However, the peak frequency of the hydrated IL with chaotropic Br- is constant with the bulk parameter.

Abstract
Neutron diffraction with empirical potential structure refinement was used to investigate the bulk liquid nanostructure of mixtures of choline arginate (Ch[Arg]), choline lysinate (Ch[Lys]), and water at mole ratios of 1Ch[Arg]:1Ch[Lys]:6H2O (balanced), 1Ch[Arg]:1Ch[Lys]:20H2O (balanced dilute), 3Ch[Arg]:1Ch[Lys]:12H2O (Arg- rich), and 1Ch[Arg]:3Ch[Lys]:12H2O (Lys- rich). The Arg- and Lys- anions tend not to associate due to electrostatic repulsion between charge groups and weak anion-anion attractions. This means that the local ion structures around the anions in these mixtures resemble the parent single-component systems. The bulk liquid nanostructure varies with the Arg-:Lys- ratio. In the Lys--rich mixture (1Ch[Arg]:3Ch[Lys]:12H2O), Lys- side chains cluster into a continuous apolar domain separated from a charged domain of polar groups. In the balanced mixture (1Ch[Arg]:1Ch[Lys]:6H2O), Lys- side chains form discrete apolar aggregates within a continuous polar domain of Arg-, Ch+, and water, and in the Arg--rich mixture (3Ch[Arg]:1Ch[Lys]:12H2O), the distribution of Lys- and Arg- is nearly homogeneous. Finally, in the balance dilute system (1Ch[Arg]:1Ch[Lys]:20H2O), a percolating water domain forms.

Abstract
Bio-compatible ionic liquids (Bio-ILs) represent a class of solvents with peculiar properties and exhibit huge potential for their applications in different fields of chemistry. Ever since they were discovered, researchers have used bio-ILs in diverse fields such as biomass dissolution, CO2 sequestration, and biodegradation of pesticides. This review highlights the ongoing research studies focused on elucidating the microscopic structure of bio-ILs based on cholinium cation ([Ch]+ ) and amino acid ([AA]- ) anions using the state-of-the-arta b i n i t i o ${ab\hskip0.25eminitio}$ and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The microscopic structure associated with these green ILs guides their suitability for specific applications. ILs of this class differ in the side chain of the amino acid anions, and varying the side chain significantly affects the structure of these ILs and thus helps in tuning the efficiency of biomass dissolution. This review demonstrates the central role of the side chain on the morphology of choline amino acid ([Ch][AA]) bio-ILs. The seemingly matured field of bio-ILs and their employment in various applications still holds significant potential, and the insights on their microscopic structure would steer the field of target specific application of these green ILs.

Abstract
Among many kinds of ionic liquids, some hydrated ionic liquids (Hy ILs) have shown an exceptional capability to stabilize protein molecules and maintain their structure and functions over a long period. However, the complex IL-water interaction among these protein-stabilizing Hy ILs has yet to be elucidated clearly. In this work, we investigate the origin of the compatibility of ionic liquid with proteins from the viewpoint of hydration structure. We systematically analyzed the hydrogen-bonding state of water molecules around ionic liquid using Fourier transform infrared absorption (FT-IR) spectroscopy. We found that the native hydrogen-bonding network of water remained relatively unperturbed in the protein-stabilizing ILs. We also observed that the protein-stabilizing ILs have a strong electric field interaction with the surrounding water molecules and this water-IL interaction did not disrupt the water-water hydrogen-bonding interaction. On the other hand, protein-denaturing ILs perturb the hydrogen-bonding network of the water molecules to a greater extent. Furthermore, the protein-denaturing ILs were found to have a weak electric field effect on the water molecules. We speculate that the direct hydrogen bonding of the ILs with water molecules and the strong electric field of the ions lasting several hydration shells while maintaining the relatively unperturbed hydrogen-bonding network of the water molecules play an essential role in protein stabilization.

Abstract
The emerging application risks of traditional ionic liquids (ILs) toward the ecosystem have changed the perception regarding their greenness. This resulted in the exploration of their more biocompatible alternatives known as biocompatible ILs (BioILs). Here, we have investigated the impact of two such biocompatible cholinium amino acid-based ILs on the structural behavior of model homogeneous DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) lipid bilayer using all-atom molecular dynamics simulation technique. Two classic cholinium-amino acid-based ILs, cholinium glycinate ([Ch][Gly]) and cholinium phenylalaninate ([Ch][Phe]), which differ only by the side chain lengths and hydrophobicity of the anions, have been utilized in the present work. Simultaneous analysis of the bilayer structural properties reveals that the existence of [Ch][Gly] BioIL above a particular concentration induces phase transition from fluid phase to gel phase in the DMPC lipid bilayer. Such a freezing of lipid bilayer upon the exposure to concentrated aqueous solution of [Ch][Gly] BioIL indicates the harmfulness of this BioIL toward the cell membranes majorly containing DMPC lipids, as the cell freezing can negatively affect its stability and functionality. Despite having a more hydrophobic amino acid side chain of [Phe]- anion in [Ch][Phe], in the case of bilayer-[Ch][Phe] systems we observe the minimal impact of [Ch][Phe] BioIL on the DMPC bilayer properties up to 10 mol % concentration. In the presence of these BioIL, we observe the thickening of the bilayer and accumulation of the cations and anions of the BioILs at the interface of DMPC lipid heads and tails. The transfer free-energy profile of a [Phe]- anion from aqueous phase to membrane center also indicates the anion partitioning at lipid head-tail interface and its inability to penetrate in the lipid membrane tail region. In contrast, the free-energy profile for a [Gly]- anion offers a very high energy barrier to the insertion of [Gly]- into the membrane interior, leading to accumulation of [Gly]- anions at the lipid head-water region.

Abstract
Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (HDESs) have gained immense popularity because of their promising applications in extraction processes. Herein, we employ atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to unveil the dynamics of DL-menthol (DLM) based HDESs with hexanoic (C6), octanoic (C8), and decanoic (C10) acids as hydrogen bond donors. The particular focus is on understanding the nature of dynamics with changing acid tail length. For all three HDESs, two modes of hydrogen bond relaxations are observed. We observe longer hydrogen bond lifetimes of the inter-molecular hydrogen bonding interactions between the carbonyl oxygen of the acid and hydroxyl oxygen of menthol with hydroxyl hydrogen of both acids and menthol. We infer strong hydrogen bonding between them compared to that between hydroxyl oxygen of acids and hydroxyl hydrogens of menthol and acids, marked by a faster decay rate and shorter hydrogen bond lifetime. The translational dynamics of the species in the HDES becomes slower with increasing tail length of the organic acid. Slightly enhanced caging is also observed for the HDES with a longer tail length of the acids. The evidence of dynamic heterogeneity in the displacements of the component molecules is observed in all the HDESs. From the values of the α-relaxation time scale, we observe that the molecular displacements become random in a shorter time scale for DLM-C6. The analysis of the self-van Hove function reveals that the overall distance covered by DLM and acid molecules in the respective HDES is more than what is expected from ideal diffusion. As marked by the shorter time scale associated with hole filling, the diffusion of the oxygen atom of menthol and the carbonyl oxygen of acid from one site to the other is fastest for hexanoic acid containing HDES.

Abstract
We use constant potential molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the interfacial structure of the cholinium glycinate biocompatible ionic liquid (bio-IL) sandwiched between graphite electrodes with varying potential differences. Through number density profiles, we observe that the cation and anion densities oscillate up to ∼1.5 nm from the nearest electrode. The range of these oscillations does not change significantly with increasing electrode potential. However, the amplitudes of the cation (anion) density oscillations show a notable increase with increasing potential at the negative (positive) electrode. At higher potential differences, the bulkier N(CH3)3CH2 group of cholinium cations ([Ch]+) overcomes the steric barrier and comes closer to the negative electrode as compared to oxygen atom (O[Ch]+ ). We observe an increase in the interaction between O[Ch]+ and the positive electrode with a decrease in the distance between them on increasing the potential difference. We also observe hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group of [Ch]+ cations and oxygens of glycinate anions through the simulated tangential radial distribution function. Orientational order parameter analysis shows that the cation (anion) prefers to align parallel to the negative (positive) electrode at higher applied potential differences. Charge density profiles show a positive charge density peak near the positive electrode at all the potential differences because of the presence of partially positive charged hydrogen atoms of cations and anions. The differential capacitance (Cd) of the bio-IL shows two constant regimes, one for each electrode. The magnitude of these Cd values clearly suggests potential application of such bio-ILs as promising battery electrolytes.

Abstract
Cholinium amino acid-based (Ch-AA) biocompatible ionic liquids (bio-ILs) are synthesized from renewable components and are efficiently used for biomass processing. However, their microscopic structural features that lead to their application as biomass solvents remain undetermined. Herein, we use atomistic simulations to investigate the structures of six different Ch-AA bio-ILs up to the nanometer length scale and demonstrate that, depending on the anion side chain structure, the respective IL exhibits structural ordering at different length scales. All the six Ch-AA bio-ILs investigated here show a generic feature of having a strong hydrogen bonding network between the hydroxyl group of the cholinium cation and the carboxyl group of the amino acid anions. We illustrate that each of these bio-ILs also displays a unique feature. Distinctive intermediate range structural ordering leads to heterogeneity in methioninate- and phenylalaninate-based ILs caused by the anion side chain segregation. Intermediate range ordering is not observed in glutaminate- and glutamate-based ILs because significant anion side chain and backbone interactions hinder the formation of side chain clusters. Interestingly, for the cysteinate-based IL, the side chains do not interact with the backbones and the intermediate range ordering is not observed because of a shorter anionic side chain.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations with many-body polarizable force fields were carried out to investigate the thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic properties of aqueous solutions of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]). The radial distribution functions exhibit well-defined features, revealing favored structural correlations between [bmim]+, [BF4]-, and H2O. The addition of water is shown to alter ionic liquid structural organizations by replacing counterions in the coordination shells and disrupt the cation-anion network. At low water concentration, the majority of water molecules are isolated from each other and have lower average dipole moment than that in pure water. With increasing hydration level, while [bmim][BF4] ionic network breaks up and becomes isolated ion pairs or free ions in the dilute limit, water begins to form clusters of increasing sizes and eventually forms a percolating network. As a result, the average water dipole moment increases and approaches its bulk value. Water is also observed to have a substantial influence on the dynamics of ionic liquids. At low water content, the cation and anion have similar diffusion coefficients due to the correlated ionic motion of long-lived ion pairs. As the water concentration increases, both ions exhibit greater mobility and faster rotations from the breakup of ionic network. Consequently, the ionic conductivity of [bmim][BF4] aqueous solutions rises with increasing water composition.

Abstract
A series of ionic liquids (ILs) composed by choline (Ch) as a cation and different amino acids (AA) as anions and their respective aqueous mixtures were prepared using different [Ch][AA] contents in a range of 0.4-46 mol % IL. These solvents were used for the first time to achieve an eco-friendlier Paraoxon degradation. The results show that [Ch][AA]/water mixtures are an effective reaction medium to degrade Paraoxon, even when the IL content in the mixture is low (0.4 mol % IL) and without the need of an extra nucleophile. Both the kinetics and the degradation pathways of pesticides depend on the nature of the AA on [Ch][AA] and the amount of an IL present in the mixture. We have demonstrated that in those mixtures with a low amount of [Ch][AA], the hydrolysis reaction is the main pathway for Paraoxon degradation, showing a catalytic effect of the IL. However, as the percentage of [Ch][AA] increases in the mixture, the nucleophilic attack of [Ch][AA] is evident. Finally, the aim of this study was to provide evidence of a promising and biocompatible methodology to degrade a toxic compound (Paraoxon) using a minimal quantity of an IL designed totally from natural resources.

Abstract
Toward the search of sustainable green solvents, choline amino acid ([Ch][AA]) ionic liquids (ILs), mainly derived from renewable feedstocks, have emerged as a promising atoxic alternative to the conventional solvents. Recent studies have shown the remarkably benign nature of cholinium-based ILs against biomimetic phospholipid membranes. However, few of the contemporaneous experimental studies have contradicted the aforesaid ecofriendly nature of these ILs with anions comprising longer alkyl or aromatic tails. Aiming to understand the influence of amino acid side-chain variation in a particular bio-IL on biomembranes, herein, we have evaluated the effect of cholinium phenylalaninate ([Ch][Phe]) IL on the structural stability of homogeneous biomimetic 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (POPE) lipid bilayers using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Although we observe spontaneous intercalation of aromatic rings of [Phe]- anions in the hydrophobic region of the bilayers, the polar backbone of the anion remains coordinated with the lipid polar part through strong electrostatic and H-bonding interactions. Besides, the [Ch]+ cations get accumulated at the lipid-water interface to counter the excess negative charge density. The intercalation of the anionic rings causes significant perturbations in the lipid structural arrangement while still maintaining the bilayer integrity. The quantitative evaluation to probe the deteriorating effect of this bio-IL application establishes anions as the principal component causing the observed structural perturbations. The analysis of the structural properties along with the free energy assessment reveals the higher efficacy of [Ch][Phe] bio-IL to perturb the POPE bilayer structure than the POPC bilayer.

Abstract
The neat and aqueous solutions of the cholinium glycinate ionic liquid (IL), [Cho][Gly], at different water mole fractions, xws, are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The changes in the local nanostructure of systems with composition have been determined by calculation of various structural distribution functions. Hydrogen bond (H-bond) attractions determine the major relative orientations of the oppositely and like charged nearest neighbors. The cation-anion H-bonds mainly form between the hydrogen of the hydroxyl or methyl groups of the cation and the carboxylate oxygen of the anion. A preferred (antiparallel) arrangement between adjacent [Cho]+ cations is due to the effective H-bond between the hydroxyl oxygen and the methyl hydrogen sites that promotes the like-charge cluster formation. Adding water decreases the occurrence probability of the [Cho]+···[Gly]-···[Cho]+ bridge structure in the aqueous solutions due to the formation of the [Gly]-···HOH···[Gly]- structure via H-bonding. Observed density trend versus xw is interpreted based on an interstice model and investigating the water cluster size distribution. Finally, the effect of xw on the infrared (IR) vibrational spectra were studied and blue and red shifts were observed for the stretching and bending vibrational modes of the hydroxyl group of [Cho]+, respectively. Current findings will improve the efficient engineering design and task-specific applications of aqueous solutions of bio-ILs consist of [Cho]+ and amino acid anions.
