Lignocellulose is known as a renewable resource, and acidic ionic liquids have been highlighted as efficient catalysts for hydrolysis of cellulose. To achieve successive hydrolysis and fermentation, efficient hydrolysis with sufficiently diluted acidic ionic liquids is necessary because acidic ionic liquids are toxic to fermentative microorganisms. Escherichia coli was confirmed to grow in 0.05...

The liquid structure of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [BMIM]PF(6), was investigated by neutron diffraction with H/D substitution method, where the hydrogen atoms in the imidazolium ring were partially deuterated. The local structures around the ring hydrogen atoms in liquid are very similar to those estimated from the crystal structure.

A convenient and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 14-aryl or alkyl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes by condensation of 2-naphthol and aldehydes in the presence of Methylimidazolium hydrogensulfate, as a Brönsted acidic ionic liquid ([Hmim]HSO4), is described. Both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes reacted easily to afford the corresponding 14-aryl or alkyl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes in good yiel...

In the crystal structure of the title salt, 3C(5)H(6)NO(+)·HSO(4) (-)·SO(4) (2-)·H(2)O, the hydrogen sulfate ion is linked to the sulfate ion by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The hydrogen sulfate-sulfate anion is a hydrogen-bond acceptor for the three independent cations and the uncoordinated water mol-ecule, the hydrogen-bonding inter-actions giving rise to a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networ...

The reliability of four force fields developed for 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquids are compared to an ab inito molecular dynamics simulation regarding structural properties. Except the hydrogen bond structure between the most acidic hydrogen atom of the imidazolium ring and the nitrogen atom of the anion as well as the intramolecular potential surface...
