To determine the essential parameters for mesophase formation in imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs), a library of 1-alkyl-3-dodecylimidazolium bromides was synthesized, abbreviated as CnC12, where 0 ≤ n ≤ 13, as the general notion is that a dodecyl side chain would guarantee the formation of an ionic liquid crystal (ILC). All salts were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectr...

Abstract In this paper we report on the sol-gel synthesis of cobalt oxide in four different ionic liquids with two cations and anions. The employed are; 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethylsulfonate ([EMIm]TfO), 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium ([Py 1,4 ]TfO), bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([EMIm]TFSA), 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidiniumbis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ]TFSA). influence cat...

Using molecular dynamics simulations, the melting points and liquid phase dynamic properties were studied for four alkyl-imidazolium-based ionic liquids, 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF6]), 1-n-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMMIM][PF6]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([EMIM][PF6]), and 1-ethyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium hexafluor...

The need to take into account the life cycle of ionic liquids (ILs), from sourcing raw materials involved in their synthesis disposal and degradation, has become paramount design new IL-type molecular structures. In case 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium salts, one prominent IL families, there is an increasing demand for synthetic methods involving (i) substitution petro-based alkyl derivatives by re...

Room-temperature ionic liquids are a class of non-molecular ionic solvents with low melting points. Their properties have the potential to be especially useful as stationary phases in gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). A series of common ionic liquids were evaluated as GLC stationary phases. It was found that many of these ionic liquids suffer from low thermal stability and possess unfavorable re...

An efficient and convenient procedure for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones and thiones by condensation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, and urea or thiourea in the presence of catalytic amount of Brønsted acidic ionic liquid 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride {[Msim]Cl} under thermal solvent-free conditions reacted easily to afford the co...

Six 1-alkyl-4-tridecafluorooctyl-1,2,4-triazolium triflimides 2a–f and 4-amino-1-tridecafluorooctyl-1,2,4-triazolium triflimide (4) were prepared from the respective iodides 1a–f (1a, 2a: n-propyl; 1b, 2b: n-butyl; 1c, 2c: n-hexyl; 1d, 2d: n-heptyl; 1e, 2e: n-octyl; 1f, 2f: n-decyl) and iodide 3 by ion metathesis. Compounds 2a and 4 are liquid at room temperature. Two liquid fluorous imidazoliu...

Recently, application of ionic liquids due to their special solvency properties as a promising method of pretreatment for lignocellulosic biomass has received much attention. Chemical stability, temperature stability, non-flammability, low vapor pressure, wide liquidus range, and non-toxicity are among those unique properties. These solvents are also known as green solvents due to non-toxicity ...

Dynamic solvation of the dye coumarin 153 is studied in a phosphonium ionic liquid: hexadecyltributylphosphonium bromide, [(C4)3C16P+][Br-]. It forms micelles in water, and the bulk also exists as a liquid under our experimental conditions. This system permits a comparison with an imidazolium ionic liquid studied earlier, which also formed micelles in water (J. Phys. Chem. A 2006, 110, 10725-10...

The relative volatilities of a variety of common ionic liquids have been determined for the first time. Equimolar mixtures of ionic liquids were vacuum-distilled in a glass sublimation apparatus at approximately 473 K. The composition of the initial distillate, determined by NMR spectroscopy, was used to establish the relative volatility of each ionic liquid in the mixture. The effect of alkyl ...
