The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(9)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(4)H(3)O(4) (-)·0.5C(4)H(4)O(4), consists of one 2-phenyl-imidazolium cation, one hydrogen fumarate anion and half a fumaric acid mol-ecule, which lies on an inversion center. N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the cations, anions and fumaric acid mol-ecules into sheets parallel to the (102) plane.

In the imidazolium cation of the title compound, C19H19N4O2(+)·Cl(-)·C3H7NO, the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the phenyl rings are 85.86 (4) and 70.26 (5)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the imdiazo-lium cations and chloride anions into zigzag chains along [110] and together with C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which involve also the dimethyl-formamide solvent mo...

Biomass-derived carbon catalysts have been extensively studied for the dehydration of sugars to platform chemical 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), which can be used produce valuable chemicals and fuels. However, only limited studies conducted determine their molecular structures how these influence conversion process. Here, we prepare a chlorosulfonated catalyst derived from cotton gin trash (CG...

The title compound, trans-[PdBr(2)(C(6)H(10)N(2))(2)], was synthesized ionothermally in the ionic liquid solvent 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bromide. In the crystal, the Pd(II) atoms are square-planarly coordinated to two Br atoms and two neutral (C(6)H(10)N(2)) ligands. The Pd(II) atom is located on an inversion centre.

The crystal structure of the title mol-ecular salt, C5H11N3 (+)·2Cl(-), was redetermined. In comparison with the previous study [Bonnet et al. (1975 ▸). Bull. Soc. Fr. Mineral. Crist. 98, 208-213.], the positions of some H atoms were corrected, allowing a more accurate description of the hydrogen-bonding scheme. In addition, the absolute structure was also determined. The maximum differences in...

BACKGROUND Clostridium thermocellum is a promising consolidated bioprocessing candidate organism capable of directly converting lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol. Current ethanol yields, productivities, and growth inhibitions are industrial deployment impediments for commodity fuel production by this bacterium. Redox imbalance under certain conditions and in engineered strains may contribute t...

A simple anion metathesis in diluted aqueous carbonate at room temperature affords 1-(12-mercaptododecyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium carbonate (MDMI-HCO(3)) from MDMI salts self-assembled on gold films and nanoparticles. The properties of MDMI-SAM differ from MDMI in solution, for which the anion exchange reaction does not proceed.

Stable high-concentration suspensions (up to 0.95 mg mL(-1)) of non-oxidized few layer graphene (FLG), five or less sheets, with micrometre-long edges were obtained via direct exfoliation of natural graphite flakes in ionic liquids, such as 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoro-methane-sulfonyl)imide ([Bmim]-[Tf(2)N]), by tip ultrasonication.
