A set of pyrazole-bridged bis(imidazolium) compounds [H3L]X2 – [H3L]X2 (L1 = 3,5-bis[1-(tert-butyl)imidazolium-1-ylmethyl]-1H-pyrazole; L2 = 3,5-bis[1-(tert-butyl)imidazolium-1-ylmethyl]-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazole; L3 = 3,5-bis[1-(1-adamantyl)imidazolium-1-ylmethyl]-1Hpyrazole; L4 = 3,5-bis[1-(1-adamantyl)imidazolium-1-ylmethyl]-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazole; X = Cl−, BF4− or PF6−) has been prepared, and thre...

Relaxation processes for imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated by means of an incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering technique. In order to clarify the cation and anion effects on the relaxation processes, ten samples were measured. For all of the samples, we found three relaxations at around 1 ps, 10 ps, and 100 ps-10 ns, each corresponding to the alkyl reorientation, the...

Zeolite synthesis is a wide area of study with increasing popularity. Several general reviews have already been published, but they did not summarize the study of imidazolium species in zeolite synthesis. Imidazolium derivatives are promising compounds in the search for new zeolites and can be used to help understand the structure-directing role. Nearly 50 different imidazolium cations have alr...

Conduction of ions and charge (electrons) often follow distinct materials design rules, presenting a significant challenge for the development homogeneous that are good at both. The fundamental interactions dictate ionic electronic conduction in mixed conductors still unclear. Here, we characterize class polymeric which liquid groups tethered to an electron-conducting conjugated polymer backbon...

Cucurbit[6]uril was dissolved through encapsulation of an imidazolium-based ionic liquid guest in a pure water environment and the dissolution ability could be tuned by augmenting the imidazolium structure.

In this paper we present the synthesis route and electrochemical properties of new class of ionic liquids (ILs) obtained from lithium derivate TDI (4,5-dicyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)imidazolium) anion. ILs synthesized by us were EMImTDI, PMImTDI and BMImTDI, i.e. TDI anion with 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations, where alkyl meant ethyl, propyl and butyl groups. TDI anion contains fewer fluorine ...

Gel Polymer Electrolytes (GPEs) composed by ZnTf₂ salt, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP), and different ionic liquids are synthesized using n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent. Three different imidazolium-based ionic liquids containing diverse cations and anions have been explored. Structural and electrical properties of the GPEs varying the ZnTf₂ concentration ar...

In the title compound, C(7)H(9)N(2)O(4) (+)·I(3) (-)·C(7)H(8)N(2)O(4), the two imidazolium units are hydrogen bonded through the carboxyl groups. The units are further linked via inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, resulting in a one-dimensional ladder-type structure. As a result, the two carb-oxy groups of each imidazolium unit adopt a cis configuration with respect to the imidazolium ring.

A series of new and known bis(imidazolium) chloride and bromide salts bridged by either a methylene group (1−8, 10a,b) or an ethylene group (9a,b) and bearing different N substituents (Me, Et, Bn, tBu, Mes) have been reacted with [Fe{N(SiMe3)2}2]2 to yield the four-coordinate iron(II) complexes [LFeX2] (11−20; X = Cl, Br; L = chelating bis(imidazolylidene) ligand). Molecular structures of six o...
