Isothermal and dynamic methodologies were used to study the thermal degradation of 8 novel fatty acid anion-based ionic liquids (FAILs): methyltrioctylammonium hexanoate [N8,8,8,1][C6:0], octanoate [N8,8,8,1][C8:0], tetrahexylammonium [N6,6,6,6][C8:0], laurate [N8,8,8,1][C12:0], palmitate [N8,8,8,1][C16:0], [N6,6,6,6][C16:0], stearate [N8,8,8,1][C18:0] oleate [N8,8,8,1][C18:1]. The stability th...

In KCl crystals, the 2s energy level of F-center within an anion-cation vacancy pair has been proposed as a suitable trap for thermoluminescence (TL) emission. It is further seen that – situated in cation anion large depth. The observed depth explainable on basis Herman and Barnett model, modified presently supports bi-vacancy configuration traps lattice.

Iridium hydridophosphine complexes of general formula [Ir(PR3)2H2(anion)](PR3= PPh3, PMe2Ph; anion =[1-closo-CB(11)H(6)Cl(6)]-, [1-closo-CB(11)H(6)I(6)]-, [BAr(F)4]-) have been prepared by hydrogenation of cyclooctadiene precursor complexes. Solid-state structures of selected examples of these complexes reveal intimate contacts between the carborane anion and cation, with the anion binding thro...

This Feature Article covers recent developments in anion induced capsular self-assemblies, with particular focus on important reports from 2011 to 2013. Contemporary studies on the capsular binding of environmentally and biologically relevant anions in aqueous medium are described. Emerging reports of such systems reveal their potential utility towards various functional aspects like anion sepa...

Stable minima showing halogen bonds between charged molecules with the same sign have been explored by means of theoretical calculations. The dissociation transition states and their corresponding barriers have also been characterized. In all cases, the results indicate that the complexes are thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable with respect to the isolated monomers in gas phase. A...

Since the aliphatic C-H···anion interaction is relatively weak, anion binding using hydrophobic aliphatic C-H (Cali-H) groups has generally been considered not possible without the presence of additional binding sites that contain stronger interactions to the anion. Herein, we report X-ray structures of organic crystals that feature a chloride anion bound exclusively by hydrophobic Cali-H group...

This work reports thermal stability, traction and tribofilm formation properties of three fatty acid-derived ionic liquids (FAILs) evaluates the influence chemical structure anion on indicated above. The results that stability FAILs is related with (longer alkyl chain length increases presence double bond decreases it). At high temperatures low speeds, [N 8,8,8,1 ][C 6:0 ] led to lowest values ...

In the title salt, C(18)H(24)NO(+)·C(6)H(7)O(7) (-), the dihedral angle between the benzene rings in the cation is 74.2 (5)°. In the crystal, anion-anion O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak O-H⋯O inter-actions form infinite chains along [100]. Between these chains, cation-anion N-H-O hydrogen bonds are observed, forming an alternate pattern of cation and anion layers and leading to a two-dimensional ...

The process of anion transport trough a synthetic ion channel based in anion···π interactions is studied by means of computational methods. Employing two models for the units forming the channel, the calculations indicate that stable complexes are formed with any of bromide, chloride, fluoride or hydroxide anions. All these complexes exhibit strong interactions in the gas phase. When studied in...
