ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized by a simple reflux method, using different ionic liquids, such as 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([BzMIM][Br]), 1,1'-(1,4 phenylenebis (methylene)) bis (3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) bromide ([MM-1,4-DBzIM2][Br]2) and 1-phenacyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([PMIM][Br]), with different amount of sodium hydroxide in water. Als...

zno nanostructures have been synthesized by a simple reflux method, using different ionic liquids, such as 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bzmim][br]), 1,1'-(1,4 phenylenebis (methylene)) bis (3-methyl-1h-imidazol-3-ium) bromide ([mm-1,4-dbzim2][br]2) and 1-phenacyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([pmim][br]), with different amount of sodium hydroxide in water. also the effect of reaction t...

1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bmim]br) as an ionic liquid promoted selectively oxidation of aliphatic and aromatic sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides and the oxidative coupling of thiols to disulfides by nabro3 in excellent yields under neutral conditions.

We evaluated the cytotoxicity of 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazo-lium bromide ([C12mim][Br]) on HepG2 cells and its influence on plasma membrane permeability. The results showed that [C12mim][Br] inhibited HepG2 cell growth and decreased cell viability in a concentration-depen-dent manner. The results also revealed that [C12mim][Br] exposure induced apoptosis in [C12mim][Br]-treated HepG2 cells. In a...

In this study, eight different types of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were applied as new solvents in the extraction of flavonoids from grape skin, and compared to the conventional organic solvent extraction that was not reported earlier. The structure of anions, cations and concentration of ILs significantly affected extraction yields. The highest mass fractions of proanthocyanidins an...
