Incorporation of imidazolium ion functionalities into the paraffinic side-chain termini of a triphenylene derivative resulted in stabilization of a columnar mesophase of its liquid crystalline assembly, which was retained over a wider temperature range down to 4 degrees C by an externally added imidazolium-based ionic liquid.

The nucleophilic addition of thiocarbamate imidazolium ylide to aldehyde triggered sequential intramolecular N to O migration of thiocarbonyl amide group and reversible oxygen-sulfur rearrangement to afford 2-imidazolium alkylcarbamothioate. The ortho group on phenyl of aldehyde strongly affects the balance of the O- to S-rearrangement.

No fluorescence emission of the naphtholate anion is observed from ionic liquids with an imidazolium cation containing a C2 hydrogen (C2-H). This is attributed to the formation of a "dark" complex between the imidazolium cation and the excited naphtholate anion.

Lubrication properties of imidazolium and phosphonium bis(oxalato)borate ionic liquids (ILs) are compared in a reciprocating sliding contact at 80 °C 140 °C. Both the influence alkyl chain length cation architecture on friction, wear lubricant breakdown investigated. Imidazolium ILs showed lower friction than though only phosphonium-based reduced wear. A longer case imidazolium-based ILs. Analy...

Hierarchical nanoporous nitrogen-doped carbons were prepared from task specific ionic liquids having a bis-imidazolium motif linked with various organic groups. While ethyl chains linking the imidazolium ions afforded microporous-mesoporous carbons, long or aromatic groups resulted in microporous samples.

Electron transfer (ET) states of 1-methyl-3-(N-(1,8-naphthalimidyl)ethyl)imidazolium iodide are responsible for its photophysics. Investigation of an ET state based on constrained density functional theory (CDFT) revealed that nonradiative decay from the ET excited state is mediated by the interaction of the iodine atom with the 1,8-naphthalimide or the imidazolium group.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been suggested as potential "green" solvents to replace volatile organic solvents in reaction and separation processes due to their negligible vapor pressure. To develop ILs for these applications, it is important to gain a fundamental understanding of the factors that control the phase behavior of ionic liquids with other liquids. In this work, we continue our study of...

Different carboxy-functionalized imidazolium salts have been considered as components of low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs) in combination with urea. Among them, a novel LTTM based on 1-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and urea has prepared characterized by differential scanning calorimetry throughout its entire composition range. This employed for the oxidation bor...

The effect of contact ion pairs and comparison the three halide ions on electrophilic C-H activation during base-free synthesis Ru(III)-NHC complexes [RuIII(PyNHCR)(Cl)3(H2O)] (1a; R = Me, 1b; iPr) have been investigated. DFT modelling two pathways for formation complexes, viz. coordination pathway ion-pair pathway, reveals generation carbene. path is preferred azolium salts with Cl− I−, wherea...
