PEG 1000–based functional dicationic acidic ionic liquid (PEG1000 –DAIL) was used for the first time as the reaction solvent for the N-Hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI)-cobalt acetate(Co(OAc)2) catalyzed aerobic oxidations of alkylaromatics to the corresponding acids. It enhanced the efficient catalytic ability of NHPI: 99.9 % conversion of toluene with 99.5 % selectivity for benzoic acid could be obta...

This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of the inclusion complex of β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) with dicationic ionic liquid, 3,3'-(1,4-Phenylenebis [methylene]) bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) di(bromide) (PhenmimBr). The inclusion complex was prepared at room temperature utilizing conventional kneading technique. Proton ((1)H) NMR and 2D ((1)H-(1)H) COSY NMR were the primary charac...

The liquid structure of aqueous solutions of five different imidazolium based gemini dicationic ionic liquids 1,n-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl) alkane bromide (n being the length of the spacer alkyl chain), with propyl, pentyl, octyl, decyl and hexadecyl spacer chains has been studied using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. While solutions with propyl and pentyl spacers are homogeneous,...

a variety of alcohols readily add to 3,4-dihydro-2h-pyran under solvent free conditions in the presence of catalytic amount of acidic ionic liquid [et3n(ch2)4so3h][ots] to afford the corresponding tetrahydropyranyl ethers in good to excellent yields at room temperature. the use of this procedure allows easy separation of the desired products from ionic liquid and recycling the ionic liquid. som...

choline oxidase (chox) was chosen as a model enzyme for evaluating the performance of cnts’ functional groups for development of enzyme electrodes. cnts were functionalized with carboxylic acid, amine or amide groups. carboxylic acid, amine and amide functionalized cnts were obtained by acid treatment, ethylenediamine or tetraethylenepentamine chemically modification and ammonia plasma treatmen...

fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles modified with 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide([c8mim]-fe3o4) were used for the removal of reactive red 141 (rr141) and reactive yellow 81 (ry81) as model azo dyes from aqueous solution. the mean size and the surface morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized by tem, xrd and ftir techniques. adsorption studies of two dyes were performed under different ex...

a direct and an efficient conversion of a wide range of primary, secondary even tertiary alcohols to the corresponding iodides have been achieved under ionic liquid conditions. the method involves preparation of ionic liquid-based iminium chloride intermediate from dmf-like ionic liquid then stirring it with alcohol in present of sodium iodide. the higher yields of alkyl iodides were obtained w...

In the present work, dicationic imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated as multi-functional coatings on a zirconia (ZrO₂) surface to prevent biofilm formation and enhance the wear performance of zirconia while maintaining the material's compatibility with host cells. ILs containing phenylalanine and methionine were synthesized and deposited on zirconia. Intermolecular interactio...
