We have carried out an ab initio molecular dynamics study on the sulfur dioxide (SO2) solvation in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate for which we have observed that both cations and anions play an essential role in the solvation of SO2. Whereas, the anions tend to form a thiocyanate- and much less often an isothiocyanate-SO2 adduct, the cations create a "cage" around SO2 with those groups...

multiwalled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) have been functionalized with -so3h groups using new three steps chemical routes. firstly, oh groups have been attached to cnt surfaces through a radical reaction. the second step involves converting the hydroxyl groups into the oxide one and last step included the attachment of –so3h groups on the mwcnts surfaces in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazo...

a convenient and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 14-aryl or alkyl-14h-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes by condensation of 2-naphthol and aldehydes in the presence of methylimidazolium hydrogensulfate, as a brönsted acidic ionic liquid ([hmim]hso4), is described. both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes reactedeasily to afford the corresponding 14-aryl or alkyl-14h-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes in good yield...

The Brönsted acidic ionic-liquid [HO(3)S(CH(2))(4)mim] HSO(4), a novel dual catalyst-solvent, has been successfully applied in simultaneous microwave-assisted extraction and hydrolysis for the determination of flavonol glycosides in Ginkgo foliage. The parameters, namely the [HO(3)S(CH(2))(4)mim]HSO(4) concentration, microwave-irradiation power, microwave-irradiation time, and solid-liquid rati...

In this work, the efficiency, generality and applicability of new Bronsted acidic ionic liquid (BAIL) 1-methyl-3-(2-(sulfooxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride {[Msei]Cl} as heterogeneous and green catalyst for organic transformations are studied. Herein, the following one-pot multi-component reactions in the presence of [Msei]Cl are investigated: (i) the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives fr...

In this research, a Brønsted acidic ionic liquid namely N1,N1,N2,N2-tetramethyl-N1,N2-bis(sulfo)ethane-1,2-diaminium chloride {[TMBSED][Cl]2} was employed as a highly efficient catalyst for the solvent-free production of some nitrogen- and oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds including: (i) polyhydroquinolines (from arylaldehydes, dimedone, β-ketoesters and ammonium acetate), (ii) 3,4-dihyd...

For the first time, a novel and efficient ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted in-situ solvent formation microextraction (IL-UA-ISFME) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) has been successfully developed for the determination of duloxetine (DLX) in human plasma. Herein, an environmentally-friendly hydrophobic ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidaz...
