The existence of new compounds is often postulated by solid state chemists by replacing an ion in the crystal structure of a known compound by a chemically similar ion. In this work, we present how this new compound discovery process through ionic substitutions can be formulated in a mathematical framework. We propose a probabilistic model assessing the likelihood for ionic species to substitut...

In this research, the new separation method based on micro solvent cluster extraction and preferential solvation has been described. A proposed separation method using aqueous mixed solvents of organic solvents (acetonitrile, 1-propanol, 2-propanol and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol) or ionic liquids and an open tubular capillary has been separated the model compounds (2-naphthol, 4-nitroani...

A new class of compounds, called as ionic liquids, has recently emerged as potential substitute for volatile organic solvents. Ionic liquids possess certain special physico-chemical characteristics that render them very useful in different areas of research and development. In this review, the physico-chemical properties and the applications of ionic liquids in chemical processes are critically...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been found to be a major contributor to air pollution in many chemical and industrial processes. Recently, a new class of solvents–ionic liquids, which are chemically stable and non-volatile liquid organic salts at temperatures less than 100 C, have attracted widespread interest due to its negligible volatility, nonflammability and high ionic conductivity....

Abstract A novel basic ionic liquid based on imidazolium cation is designed, synthesized and successfully used as a catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 4-Oxo-6-aryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives. The remarkable features of this new catalyst are its ethyleneoxy bridge which participates in dissolving organic compound in the ionic liquid and its strong base co...

Oximes are highly crystalline materials and oximation is very efficient method for characterization and purification of carbonyl compounds. These compounds not only represent a useful series of derivatives of carbonyl compounds but also may be used as intermediates for the preparation of amides by the Beckmann rearrangement [1], nitrones [2], hydroximinoyl chlorides, nitrile oxide [3] and chi a...

A series of monocationic and dicationic ionic liquids, in which each ionic liquid is associated with dicyanamide anion, are synthesized. The molecular structures of these compounds were identified by 1H-NMR, FT-IR and CHN analysis. Thermal behaviors of these ionic liquids were also investigated by thermogravimetry (TGA). The results suggested that all new ionic liquids have reasonable thermal s...

Vibrational studies of materials at elevated temperatures are relatively rare, and most phonon work also has emphasized harmonic behavior. Non-harmonic effects are often unexplored. These non-harmonic effects can be important for many properties of the material, such as thermal transport and phase stability. Phonon theory and computational methods are briefly reviewed, and the experimental tech...
