Spectral-Structure Activity Relationship (Spectral-SAR) Assessment of Ionic Liquids’ in Silico Ecotoxicity

A Spectral-SAR Model for the Anionic-Cationic Interaction in Ionic Liquids: Application to Vibrio fischeri Ecotoxicity

Within the recently launched the spectral-structure activity relationship (S-SAR) analysis, the vectorial anionic-cationic model of a generic ionic liquid is proposed, along with the associated algebraic correlation factor in terms of the measured and predicted activity norms. The reliability of the present scheme is tested by assessing the Hansch factors, i.e. lipophylicity, polarizability and...

Introducing Spectral Structure Activity Relationship (S-SAR) Analysis. Application to Ecotoxicology

A novel quantitative structure-activity (property) relationship model, namely Spectral-SAR, is presented in an exclusive algebraic way replacing the old-fashioned multi-regression one. The actual S-SAR method interprets structural descriptors as vectors in a generic data space that is further mapped into a full orthogonal space by means of the Gram-Schmidt algorithm. Then, by coordinated transf...

Ultrapurification of Ionic Liquids

Ionic liquids (ILs) have received a great increase in attention in the fields of engineering during last decade due to their unique properties. ILs are a very important class of non volatile environmentally friendly solvents (Tm< 100°C) in (bio)catalysis -applicable to many ionic, polar and non polar structure groupsand as efficient electrolytes [1]. The applications range from electrochemistry...

Ionic liquids in tribology.

Current research on room-temperature ionic liquids as lubricants is described. Ionic liquids possess excellent properties such as non-volatility, non-flammability, and thermo-oxidative stability. The potential use of ionic liquids as lubricants was first proposed in 2001 and approximately 70 articles pertaining to fundamental research on ionic liquids have been published through May 2009. A lar...
