The title compound, (C(11)H(18)N(4))[CdBr(4)], was prepared by an anion exchange. The dihedral angle between the two planar imidazolium rings in the cation is 74.4 (4)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds between the cation and the tetrahedral anion, building up a three-dimensionnal network.

We have developed a highly stable supported liquid membrane based on ionic liquids (ILs) for the separation of rare-earth metals, employing N,N-dioctyldiglycol amic acid as a mobile carrier. The quantitative transport of Y and Eu through the membrane was successfully attained, and separation from metal impurities, Zn, was efficiently accomplished. A membrane stable enough for long-term operatio...

Abstract Three series of new ionic liquids (ILs), namely imidazolium‐, pyrazolium‐, and bis‐benzimidazolium‐containing ILs, were prepared from low‐cost, unprotected carbohydrates. Information on anion‐cation interactions solvation shell obtained via diffusion NMR heteronuclear Overhauser correlation maps (HOESY), respectively.

bifunctional acidic ionic liquids, having both h-imidazolium and -so3h groups as cation moieties (h-bfails) and cf3so3- as anion, were synthesized in high yields. these h-bfails showed significant hydrophilic properties, lower acidity and higher thermal stability relative to common ionic liquids, due to their unique structures. the (propyl or butyl-3-sulfonic) imidazolium trifluoromethane sulfo...

Methylation at the C2 position of 1,3-disubstituted imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) is one of the structural features that has gained attention due to its drastic impact on thermophysical and transport properties. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain this effect but there is still much discrepancy. Aiming for the rationalization of the effects of these structural features on t...

An ionic liquid fabricated from an anionic cyclometalated platinum(ii) complex and an imidazolium cation exhibits dual emission from the monomeric and aggregated forms of the platinum complex anions, leading to temperature-dependent color changes of luminescence.

The covalent incorporation of functional groups-specifically sulfoxide and sulfone-into the cation of imidazolium ionic liquids leads to significant, quantifiable changes in solvent parameters which in turn have important effects on the bulk properties of the materials.

Relaxation processes for imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated by means of an incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering technique. In order to clarify the cation and anion effects on the relaxation processes, ten samples were measured. For all of the samples, we found three relaxations at around 1 ps, 10 ps, and 100 ps-10 ns, each corresponding to the alkyl reorientation, the...

In this study, thin films of mesoporous silica with vertically oriented and hexagonally ordered pores have been synthetized investigated. A variety alkyl-imidazolium ionic liquids used as the template, aim to understand how changing chain length on imidazolium cation from hexadecyl (C16) dodecyl (C12) or protic character head affects film formation order pores. addition, different types metal s...

We have designed an amphiphilic zwitterion with an iodine-substituted imidazolium cation. Although it forms a layered assembly with flat interfaces, the addition of an equimolar amount of bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide results in the formation of a bicontinuous cubic liquid-crystalline assembly with a primitive-type infinite periodic minimal surface, where its zwitterionic headgroup sits regu...
