The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(9)H(9)N(2) (+)·0.5C(8)H(4)O(4) (-)·H(2)O, contains one 2-phenyl-imidazolium cation, half a benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate anion and one water mol-ecule. In the crystal, components are connected by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions into a three-dimensional network.

Solid state ionic conductors based on a carbazole-imidazolium cation structure were synthesized for application in solid state dye sensitized solar cells. Solid state electrolytes using designed solid state ionic conductors and iodine provide dual channels for hole/triiodide transportation, giving rise to a good conversion efficiency of 2.85%.

The title imidazolium-based ionic-liquid salt, C(18)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2BF(4) (-), has the cation lying about a center of inversion. The five-membered imidazole ring is approximately perpendicular to the six-membered phenyl-ene ring [dihedral angle = 86.9 (1)°]. The tetra-fluoro-borate anion is disordered over two sites in a 0.722 (3):0.278 (3) ratio.

In the title salt, C(11)H(21)N(2) (+)·C(6)H(5)O(3)S(-), which has two cation-anion pairs in the asymmetric unit, the two imidazolium cations are linked to two separate acceptor O atoms of one of the benzene-sulfonate anions through aromatic C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, while the second anion is unassociated.

The organic-inorganic hybrid, {(C(6)H(13)N(3))(2)[Pb(3)I(10)]}(n), was obtained by the reaction of 1-(3-ammonio-prop-yl)imidazolium triiodide and PbI(2) at room temperature. The structure contains one-dimensional {[Pb(3)I(10)](4-)}(n) polymeric anions spreading parallel to [001], resulting from face-face-edge association of PbI(6) distorted octa-hedra. One of the Pb(II) cations is imposed at an...

A new nanostarch functionalized ionic liquid containing imidazolium cation and cobalt chelate anion was synthesized and tested for the one pot synthesis of carbamates by the reaction of amines and dimethyl carbonate (DMC), affording excellent yield of the products under solvent free mild reaction conditions. The synthesized ionic liquid was easily recovered and reused several times without any ...

In the cation of the title compound, C(23)H(25)N(4)O(+)·PF(6) (-), the imidazolium ring make dihedral angles of 87.20 (6) and 79.89 (5)° with the pyridine ring and the quinoline system, respectively. In the crystal, C-H⋯F and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are observed.

In the solid form of the title imidazolium-based ionic liquid salt, C(18)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2CF(3)SO(3) (-), the complete cation is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. The five-membered imidazole ring is approximately perpendicular to the six-membered phenyl-ene ring [dihedral angle = 85.11 (11)°]. In the crystal, the components are linked by C-H⋯O interactions.

Organic-inorganic metal-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved a certified power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.5%. However, long-term stability and air the PSCs are still major concerns hamper commercialization. Herein, we employ multi-functional ionic liquid (IL), 1,3-bis(cyanomethyl)imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Bcim][TFSI]), which contains an imidazolium cat...
