Low levels of 1-methylimidazole additives have been found to have dramatic effects on the resulting stability of gold and bimetallic nanoparticles in ionic liquids (ILs).

Neutral tetrakis(methylimidazole) (1) and the novel cationic tetrakis(methylimidazolium) (2) calixarenes have been prepared and their solid-state and solution behaviour examined. The neutral imidazole forms a mono-zwitterion at elevated temperature, a feature that has been observed both in solution and in the solid-state. The cationic imidazolium exhibits a range of hydrogen bond interactions w...

• New experimental data of the solubility CO 2 in a chemical absorption medium are reported. The Cubic Plus Association equation state with pseudo reaction approach is developed for modeling. and physical contributions to estimated predictive manner. capture plays critical role reducing carbon emissions. Novel media, such as imidazole aqueous solutions, have been extensively studied potential c...

The designed peptide 1-methylimidazole-2-carboxamide netropsin (2-ImN) binds specifically to the sequence 5'-TGACT-3'. Direct evidence from NMR spectroscopy is presented that this synthetic ligand binds DNA as a 2:1 complex, which reveals that the structure is an antiparallel dimer in the minor groove of DNA. This is in contrast to the 1:1 complexes usually seen with most crescent-shaped minor ...

1-Methylimidazole 3-N-oxide (NMI-O) crystallizes as a monohydrate, C4H6N2O·H2O, in the monoclinic space group P21 with Z' = 2 (mol-ecules A and B). The imidazole rings display a planar geometry (r.m.s. deviations = 0.0008 and 0.0002 Å) and are linked in the crystal structure into infinite zigzag strands of ⋯NMI-O(A)⋯OH2⋯NMI-O(B)⋯OH2⋯ units by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These chains propagate along t...

Owing to the intrinsically sluggish kinetics of urea oxidation reaction (UOR) involving a six-electron transfer process, developing efficient UOR electrocatalyst is great challenge remained be overwhelmed. Herein, by taking advantage 2-Methylimidazole, which kind alkali in water and owns strong coordination ability Co2+ methanol, trace Co (1.0 mol%) addition was found induce defect engineering ...
