The interaction mechanisms between protonated betaine cation ([Hbet]) and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion ([Tf2N]) were investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level, and six stable isomers of [Hbet][Tf2N] were optimized. The optimized structures, energies and natural population analysis (NPA) were presented and analyzed in terms of their possible correlation with the interaction energies and the H-bond separations. Theoretical results indicate that the [Hbet] and [Tf2N] can form considerably strong H-bond interactions, which is mainly attributed to the interaction between the lone pairs of O, N atoms in [Tf2N] and the antibonding orbital of O—H, C—H in [Hbet]. Atoms in molecules (AIM) analyses indicate that the H-bond between [Hbet] and [Tf2N] is primarily ionic character. The preliminary analysis of cation-anion interactions provides some initial hints as to the structural factors contributed to melting point and selective extraction of metal ions.
