Heteroassembly Ability of Dicationic Ionic Liquids and Neutral Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

Solution and thermal behaviour of novel dicationic imidazolium ionic liquids.

A new class of functionalised dicationic ionic liquids, containing a central cationic unit capped by a basic functionality (imidazole), has been synthesised. These salts have been characterised in isotropic solution using proton and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, and their thermal stability has been studied by DSC and TGA. All these novel salts contain the 1-(1-imidazolylmethyl)-3,5-di{1-(3'-octylimidazo...

Ionic liquids: Pharmaceutical and Biotechnological Applications

Ionic liquids (ILs) are largely made of ions and short-lived ion pairs. These often possess a unique combination of physical and chemical properties which are not available with molecular solvents. ILs are dynamic, attractive and rich research area and are gaining considerable attention as promising molten materials for a variety of applications in pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields. Ionic...

Ionic liquids: Solvation ability and polarity*

The role of ionic liquids (ILs) as solvents in chemistry is limited by the poor understanding of the solvation phenomenon in these media. The usual classification criteria used for molecular solvents through various experimental measurements fail to insert ILs into a univocal classification for ILs. Here, we first discuss the unsuitability of the usual interpretative scheme for molecular liquid...
