چکیده

Using the single tryptophan residue in the sweet protein monellin as a spectroscopic handle, we show the extreme thermodynamic stabilization offered by an ionic liquid; T(un) approximately 105 degrees C in [C4mpy][Tf2N] compared to 40 degrees C in bulk water.

Chemical modification for improving activity and stability of lipase B from Candida antarctica with imidazolium-functional ionic liquids.

Various imidazolium-functional ionic liquids (ILs) composed of different cations and anions were grafted onto Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) through lysine coupling, and 4-6 of the 9 primary amino groups of the lysine residues were modified. The catalytic activity and stability were investigated in a p-nitrophenyl palmitate hydrolysis reaction. After modification, CALB was activated and ach...

Imidazolium-based ionic liquids immobilized on solid supports: effect on the structure and thermostability.

[BMI][PF(6)] has been supported on silica and alumina in order to study the effect of these classical oxide supports on the structure of the ionic liquid. A widespread characterization by TGA, DSC, XRD and solid NMR of thin films of [BMI][PF(6)] immobilized on these amorphous supports has evidenced a dramatic effect on the ionic liquid structure depending on the nature of the support. For the a...

Determination of halide impurities in ionic liquids by total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.

The determination and quantification of halide impurities in ionic liquids is highly important because halide ions can significantly influence the chemical and physical properties of ionic liquids. The use of impure ionic liquids in fundamental studies on solvent extraction or catalytic reactions can lead to incorrect experimental data. The detection of halide ions in solution by total reflecti...

Enzymatic Polymerization of Phenols in Room Temperature Ionic Liquids.

Soybean peroxidase (SBP) was used to catalyze the polymerization of phenols in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Phenolic polymers with number average molecular weights ranging from 1200 to 4100 D were obtained depending on the composition of the reaction medium and the nature of the phenol. Specifically, SBP was highly active in methylimidazolium-containing RTILs, including 1-butyl-3-met...
