The title compound, (C(8)H(15)N(2))[LaCl(4)(CH(3)OH)(C(3)H(7)OH)], consists of one 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium (BMI(+)) cation and one hexa-hedral tetra-chlorido(methanol)(propan-2-ol)lanthanate anion. The La(III) ion is eight-coordinate, with the La(III) ion bridged by a pair of Cl atoms, so forming chains propagating along the a-axis direction. Each La(III) ion is further coordinated by two ...

Herein, we investigate the first X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data for a range of functionalised guanidinium based systems that are commonly employed in the dissolution of biomolecules. We define a peak fitting model which allows the direct comparison to more common cation sets including dialkyl-imidazolium, pyrrolidinium, and quaternary ammonium based systems. The measured binding en...

In the title salt, C(18)H(19)N(4)O(+)·PF(6) (-), the dihedral angle between the benzimidazolium and benzimidazole ring systems is 16.24 (2)°. In the cation, a π-π inter-action is observed between the imidazolium ring and the benzene ring of the benzimidazole ring system [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5713 (11) Å]. The PF(6) (-) ion is disordered over two sites, with occupancies of 0.895 (2) an...

Solutions of glucose, cellobiose and microcrystalline cellulose in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium ([C2mim][OAc]) have been examined using pulsed-field gradient (1)H NMR. Diffusion coefficients of the cation and anion across the temperature range 20-70 °C have been determined for a range of concentrations (0-15% w/w) of each carbohydrate in [C2mim][OAc]. These systems behave as an...

The title mol-ecular salt, C13H11N2O(+)·Cl(-)·H2O, crystallizes as a monohydrate. In the cation, the phenol and benzimidazole rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 3.18 (4)°. The chloride anion and benzimidazole cation are linked by two N(+)-H⋯Cl(-) hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [010]. These chains are linked through O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds involving the water m...

2-Ethyl-1,3,4-trimethylimidazolium is so far the fifth and largest imidazolium cation able to produce the pure silica zeolite ITW. The crystallization is not direct, but occurs as an in situ transformation from either the chiral HPM-1 (STW) zeolite or the new layered zeolite precursor HPM-2 (preMTF) and results in large interpenetrated crystals with a habit so far unseen in this zeolite. The re...

It is worth it to explore the extraction performance for vanadium by imidazole ionic liquids. The of (V) was studied using [Omim]Cl, [Omim]Br, and [Omim][BF4] as extractants. effects various diluents, equilibrium time, temperature, anion species were investigated. structure-activity relationship ILs discussed calculating lattice energy based on Glasser theory volume anions. results show that n-...

Palladium nanoparticles were captured onto spherical silica particles using a molecular band composed of imidazolium chloride and urea moieties to form raspberry-like Pd@SiO2 composites, which can be recovered and reused without any loss of catalytic activity in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.

The title imidazolium-based ionic-liquid salt, C(18)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2Br(-), has the cation lying about a center of inversion. The five-membered imidazole ring is disordered over two positions with the major component having a site occupancy of 0.712 (4); the N-bound methyl substituents are ordered. The imidazole ring is approximately perpendicular to the six-membered phenyl-ene ring [dihedral an...

Two thread-shaped cations, pyridinium nicotinamide and imidazolium, as their chloride and hexafluorophosphate salts, were studied with regards to complexation with hydrogen-bond-donating acyclic and macrocyclic ligands. In the latter case, the cations form pseudorotaxanes templated by the chloride anion but not hexafluorophosphate. This formation is a function of the coupling of ion-pairing bet...
