© 2020 Elsevier Inc. Some ionic liquids (ILs) change their dynamic properties when placed in a confinement between polar surfaces (Filippov et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2018, 20, 6316). The diffusivities of ions and NMR relaxation times in these ILs also reversibly change under a strong static magnetic field. The mechanisms of these phenomena are not clear, but it has been suggested that they involve modified hydrogen-bonding networks formed in these ILs in the presence of polar surfaces. To obtain a better understanding of these effects, we performed temperature-dependent measurements of chemical shifts and diffusion coefficients for ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) IL in the bulk phase (IB) and confined in layers with a thickness of ~4 μm between quartz plates unexposed (I phase) and exposed (IMF phase) to a static magnetic field of 9.4 T. It was shown that the NMR chemical shift of NH3 protons of EAN in the I phase is strongly shifted upfield, ~0.0145 ppm/K, which is due to weakening of the hydrogen-bonding network of the confined EAN. Exposure to the magnetic field leads to restitution of the hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding network). The temperature dependences of diffusion coefficients follow the order D(I) > D(IB) > D(IMF) and can be described by a Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann approach with variation of the pre-exponential factor, which is determined by the strength of the H-bonding network. Confinement of EAN between plates (IB → I) is an endothermic process, while processes occurring in a magnetic field, I → IMF and IMF → I, are exothermic and endothermic, respectively.
