In this article, 20 ns molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) were used to investigate the absorption of CO2 molecules by some functionalized 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]-udec-7-ene (DBU)-based ILs. According to the MD results, the highest coordination number for NC is observed in the case of [DBUH+][Im-], which indicates that the functionalization of the imidazole anion by different alkyl groups decreases the interaction ability of the anion with CO2 molecules. The addition of water molecules
