Development of Wet Vacuum Technologies with Ionic Liquids Inspired by a Pipe Dream Discussion

Relative volatilities of ionic liquids by vacuum distillation of mixtures.

The relative volatilities of a variety of common ionic liquids have been determined for the first time. Equimolar mixtures of ionic liquids were vacuum-distilled in a glass sublimation apparatus at approximately 473 K. The composition of the initial distillate, determined by NMR spectroscopy, was used to establish the relative volatility of each ionic liquid in the mixture. The effect of alkyl ...

single-step synthesis of multi-component spirobarbiturates using ionic liquids and synthesis of substituted pyridine filled with catalysts supported on solid substrate

in this thesis, a better reaction conditions for the synthesis of spirobarbiturates catalyzed by task-specific ionic liquid (2-hydroxy-n-(2-hydroxyethyl)-n,n-dimethylethanaminium formate), calcium hypochlorite ca(ocl)2 or n-bromosuccinimide (nbs) in the presence of water at room temperature by ultrasonic technique is provided. the design and synthesis of spirocycles is a challenging task becaus...

A collaborative initiative: pipe dream or possibility?

Students of social sciences and economics are familiar with and have had lengthy discussions about the game theory known as the “prisoner’s dilemma.” The “prisoner’s dilemma” was created by Merrill Flood and Melvin Dresher in the 1950s and later formalized by Albert W. Tucker. The theory behind this game reveals why two people may not cooperate even if it is in the best interest of both parties...

Exclusive breast-feeding--a pipe dream?

High vacuum distillation of ionic liquids and separation of ionic liquid mixtures.

The vaporisation of ionic liquids has been investigated using temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) distillation. 1-Alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquids, [C(n)C(1)Im][Tf(2)N] (n = 2, 8), have been distilled at UHV and T > 500 K in a specially designed still. The distillation process yielded spectroscopically pure ionic liquid di...
