The reaction of pharmacological active protic ionic liquid tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium 4-chlorophenylsulfanylacetate H+N(CH2CH2OH)3 ∙ (-OOCCH2SC6H4Cl-4) (1) with zinc or nickel chloride in a ratio of 2:1 affords stable at room temperature powder-like adducts [H+N(CH2CH2OH)3]2 ∙ [M(OOCCH2SC6H4Cl-4)2Cl2]2-, M = Zn (2), Ni (3). By recrystallization from aqueous alcohol compound 2 unexpectedly gi...

Two 5-acyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene derivatives, one with a propionyl group and the other with a fused cyclohexanone ring, are investigated as sensors of H-bond-donating ability in protic solvents of low solvent acidity. Their fluorescence is highly quenched in protic solvents, and the quenching order of magnitude is linearly related to the H-bond-donating ability of the solvent as quantified...

We have used the high nucleophilicity of bromide ion in the form of the ionic liquid, 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bmim][Br]), for the nucleophilic displacement of an alkyl group to regenerate a phenol from the corresponding aryl alkyl ether. Using 2-methoxynaphthalene (1) as a model compound, we found that the combination of ionic liquid [bmim][Br] and p-toluenesulfonic acid with wa...

In this paper, we have examined the conductivity and interaction studies of ammonium and imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) with the newly synthesised low bandgap polymer (Poly(2-heptadecyl-4-vinylthieno[3,4-d]thiazole) (PHVTT)). Use of low bandgap polymers is the most suitable way to harvest a broader spectrum of solar radiations for solar cells. But, still there is lack of most efficient l...

A coumarin analogue, 8-methoxy-4-methyl-2H-benzo[g]chromen-2-one (MMBC), is almost non-fluorescent in non-polar media, whereas it exhibits dramatically enhanced fluorescence in polar protic solvents. This study investigates the mechanistic features of the significant solvent effects on the fluorescence properties of MMBC and a related compound, 4-methyl-2H-benzo[g]chromen-2-one (MBC), by time-r...

Chiral ion exchangers based on quinine (QN) and quinidine (QD), namely Chiralpak QN-AX QD-AX as anionic ZWIX(+) ZWIX(-) zwitterionic exchanger chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been investigated with respect to their retention resolution characteristics. For the evaluation of effects composition polar organic bulk solvents mobile phase (MP) those acid base additives acting displacers necessa...

Detritylation of 5'-dimethoxytrityl nucleosides have been quantitatively achieved in minutes at room temperature under aprotic neutral conditions by using stannous chloride. Of additional practical consideration and in contrast to protic acids, no depurination was observed with this reagent.

The spontaneous and collision-assisted hydrogen-atom abstracting reaction (HA) dynamics of triplet benzil are investigated through the combination of transient absorption spectroscopy with TD-DFT calculations. HA dynamics exhibit a remarkable dependence on the hydrogen donor properties. The effects of the triplet-state hydrogen bonding on the reaction dynamics are illustrated. In particular, it...
