Sugar-aza-crown ether-based cavitand 1 can act as a selective turn-on fluorescence sensor for hydrogen sulfate ion in methanol among a series of tested anions. Spectroscopic studies, particularly NMR spectroscopy, revealed that the C-H hydrogen bonding between 1,2,3-triazole ring of cavitand 1 and hydrogen sulfate ion is crucial for the high selectivity of the receptor for hydrogen sulfate.

Solutions of two types cellulose in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate (BmimAc) have been analyzed using rheology and fast-field cycling nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, order to analyze macroscopic (bulk) microscopic environments, respectively. The degree polymerization (DP) was observed a significant effect on both overlap (c*) entanglement (ce) concentrations...

The title compound, C(13)H(16)N(3)O(+)·PF(6) (-), which has an imide group in the imidazolium cation, is a new ionic liquid above its melting point. Two neighbouring mol-ecules are connected by a weak non-classical C-H⋯O hydrogen bond with the formation of centrosymmetric 14-membered dimers.

In the title compound, C(22)H(19)N(2) (+)·ClO(4) (-), the three pendant aromatic rings are twisted from the plane of the imidazolium ring by dihedral angles of 17.3 (2), 65.7 (2) and 3.4 (2)°. In the crystal structure, N-H⋯O and N-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds link the ions, forming a ribbon-like structure along the a axis.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(9)H(9)N(2) (+.)0.5C(8)H(4)O(4) (-)·3H(2)O, contains one 2-phenyl-imidazolium cation, half a benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate anion and three water mol-ecules, which are connected by O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

The title compound, (C(11)H(18)N(4))[CdBr(4)], was prepared by an anion exchange. The dihedral angle between the two planar imidazolium rings in the cation is 74.4 (4)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds between the cation and the tetrahedral anion, building up a three-dimensionnal network.

In the title compound, C(19)H(19)N(4)O(2) (+)·Cl(-)·C(2)H(3)N, the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 69.57 (8)° while the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the phenyl rings are 70.61 (7) and 82.11 (7)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯O, C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the imidazolium cations, chloride anions and acetonitrile solvent mol-ecules into a two-dimensional ...

Water wettability of Si/SiO2 surfaces was controlled by the formation of SAMs terminating in 1-alkyl3-(3-silylpropyl)imidazolium ions and the anion exchange on the surfaces (“direct anion exchange”). The exchange was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the water wettability was measured as a water contact angle by contact angle goniometry. We found that anions played a great role...

The title compound, [Cu(C(2)O(4))(2)(C(6)H(14)NO)(2)], was synthesized by mixing diacetonamine hydrogen oxalate and copper sulfate in ethanol/water. The mol-ecule is centrosymmetric, so two pairs of equivalent ligands lie trans to each other. The Cu(II) center, located on a position with 2/m site symmetry, is six-coordinated by four O atoms from two oxalate ligands at short distances and the ca...
