A new non-fluorinated malonamide-based ionic liquid extractant was synthesized and investigated for the extraction behavior of europium(III) and other trivalent rare-earth ions from nitric acid medium. The extractant was the functionalized ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium N,N,N',N'-tetra(2-ethylhexyl)malonate, [P66614][MA], and it was used in combination with the non-fluorinated ion...

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) (BG-12, Tecfidera) is a fumaric acid ester (FAE) that was advanced as a multiple sclerosis (MS) therapy largely for potential neuroprotection as it was recognized that FAEs are capable of activating the antioxidative transcription factor nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) pathway. However, DMF treatment in randomized controlled MS trials was associated wi...

In this work, reactive absorption of gases in aqueous electrolyte solutions has been investigated resulting in the development of a procedure in order to calculate the concentrations of ionic and molecular species in the liquid phase. Two duplicate experiments were conducted to investigate simultaneous reactive absorption of ammonia and carbon dioxide in partially carbonated ammonia solutio...

Ionic liquid N-ethylpyridinium hydrogen sulfate has been prepared, characterized and used as an efficient recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of a series of indoles and bis(indolyl)methanes. Latter have been further explored for their potential antimicrobial activity against E coli and Bacillus. The ionic liquid used was recycled in the end and its recovery was facilitated b...

in the present work, an efficient modified carbon-ceramic electrode by multi-walled carbon nanotubes/ionic liquid nanocomposite (mwcnts/il/cce) was prepared through a simple and repeatable procedure. the introduced modified electrode was used for the study of the electrochemical behaviour and determination of tryptophan (trp) in the presence of uric acid (ua) using cyclic voltammetry (cv), diff...

in this research, different alcohols and phenols are subjected to the reaction with hmds in the presence of ionic liquid and silica-supported catalysts. silylation was accomplished under mild reaction conditions at room temperature in short reaction times and good to excellent yields.

The kinetics of a ligand exchange in the CuL4/H2Ln system, where H2Ln is the N,N'-alkylen-bis(salicyldimine) tetradentate Schiff base ligand (n = 2 or 3, CH2 groups in the chain length of the amine backbone) was studied spectrophotometrically in DMF solvent with or without triethylamine (NEt3) and H2O at 25 ± 0.1 °C and an ionic strength of 0.01 M NaNO3. The reaction rate was found to be first-...

We have investigated the impact of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on the ionic contamination of liquid crystals. Nematic liquid crystals with high and low initial ionic contamination have been examined. It has been shown that titanium dioxide nanoparticles reduced the ion density of liquid crystals with high initial ionic contamination from 134.5 × 1012 cm-3 to 63.2 × 1012 cm-3. In the case of ...

The present study aims at evaluating the capability of phosphate-based salts, whose anions can coexist in water depending on the media pH, to promote aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) formation with 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids, as well as to infer on the influence of the ionic liquid anion in the overall process of liquid–liquid demixing. In this context, novel phase diagrams of...

It is shown that rare earths can be distributed between two immiscible ionic liquids, allowing the transfer of the rare earths from one ionic liquid phase to another. The ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride was used as the initial feed phase and the ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(2,4,4trimethylpentyl)phosphinate (Cyphos IL 104) as the extracting phase. The rare e...
