Abstract Friction modifiers (FMs) are surface-active additives added to base fluids reduce friction between rubbing surfaces. Their effectiveness depends on their interactions with surfaces and may be mitigated by the choice of fluid. In this work, performance an imidazolium ionic liquid (ImIL) additive in polyethylene-glycol (PEG) 1,4-butanediol for lubricating steel/steel diamond-like-carbon/...

The title imidazolium-based ionic-liquid salt, C(18)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2Br(-), has the cation lying about a center of inversion. The five-membered imidazole ring is disordered over two positions with the major component having a site occupancy of 0.712 (4); the N-bound methyl substituents are ordered. The imidazole ring is approximately perpendicular to the six-membered phenyl-ene ring [dihedral an...

The title imidazolium-based ionic-liquid salt, C(18)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2PF(6) (-), has the cation lying about a center of inversion. The five-membered imidazole ring is disordered over two positions (the methyl substituents are ordered). This imidazole ring is approximately perpendicular to the six-membered phenyl-ene ring [dihedral angle = 81.3 (8)° for one disorder component and 83.8 (8)° for the...

glassy carbon (gc) is the most commonly used carbon-based electrode in the analytical laboratory. because of the high background current and low electrode response, modification of this electrode can be done by various materials and techniques. an ionic liquid (il), 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilyl propyl) imidazoliumbis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, was covalently cross linked onto the gc surf...

In this paper, guanine and hypoxanthine were separated with four different ionic liquids as additives for the mobile phase using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC). The ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIm][BF4]), 1-ethyl-3methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EMIm][BF4]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([EMIm][MS]) and 1-oct...

a direct and an efficient conversion of a wide range of primary, secondary even tertiary alcohols to the corresponding iodides have been achieved under ionic liquid conditions. the method involves preparation of ionic liquid-based iminium chloride intermediate from dmf-like ionic liquid then stirring it with alcohol in present of sodium iodide. the higher yields of alkyl iodides were obtained w...
