in this paper, aggregation behaviors of aqueous solutions of short chain hydrophilic ionic liquids (ils), 1 – allyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([amim]cl), 1 - ethyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([emim]cl), 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([bmim]cl), 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]bf4) were investigated using conductivity and laser light scatterin...

The electrochemical behavior of lansoprazole (LNS) was investigated at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and the GCE modified by a gel containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIMPF6) in 0.10 M phosphate buffer solution of pH 6.8. It was found that an irreversible anodic oxidation peak with an ...

Solvation in 1-ethyl-3-methylmidazolium chloride and in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate near equilibrium is investigated via molecular dynamics computer simulations with diatomic and benzenelike molecules employed as probe solutes. It is found that electrostriction plays an important role in both solvation structure and free energetics. The angular and radial distributions of ca...

Abstract: A thermodynamic consistency test developed for high pressure binary vapor-liquid mixtures is applied to mixtures containing a supercritical solvent and an ionic liquid. Several authors have reported vapor-liquid equilibrium data on the binary systems supercritical CO2 + 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate {[bmim][PF6]}, supercritical CO2 + 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium nit...

To understand the nonexponential relaxation associated with solvation dynamics in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, we study power spectra of the fluctuating Franck-Condon energy gap of a diatomic probe solute via molecular dynamics simulations. Results show 1f dependence in a wide frequency range over 2-3 decades, indicating distributed relaxation times. We anal...

Understand the structure of ILs/air interface on a molecular level is significant. In this work, liquid-air class ILs containing 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations ([Cnmim]+, n = 4, 6 and 8) was investigated by sum-frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy experiment. The length alkyl chain anion type (tetrafluoroborate ([BF4]−), thiocyanate ([SCN]−), dicyanamide ([DCA]−), hexafluorophosph...

The development of a method for site-isolation of Grubbs second-generation catalyst from MCPBA is described. In these reactions, Grubbs catalyst was dissolved in a solvent consisting of a mixture (1:1 v/v) of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and methylene chloride and completely encapsulated within a thimble fabricated from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). A series of molecules that ...

In this report, a novel chemical synthesis of polyaniline/gold nanocomposite is explored using ionic liquid (IL) 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. The direct chemical synthesis of polyaniline/gold nanocomposite was initiated via the spontaneous oxidation of aniline by AuCl(4) (-) in IL. A nearly uniform dispersion of polyaniline/Au particles with a diameter of 450 ± 80 nm was pro...

The theoretical performance of ionic-liquid(IL-) based working fluids in an absorption refrigeration system was investigated. The IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]) and five hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) were selected as the absorbent and refrigerant, respectively. The Redlich−Kwong equation of state and two-phase pressure-drop model were used to compute the thermodyna...

Photochemical properties of the ionic liquid (RTIL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [bmim][PF6] and its binary mixed solutions with organic solvent (DMF and MeCN) were investigated by laser photolysis at an excitation wavelength of 355 nm, using anthraquinone (AQ) as a probe molecule. It was indicated that the triplet excited state of AQ (AQ*) can abstract hydrogen from [bmim][P...
