diosmin and hesperidin are natural flavonoid glycosides found in various plant materials, mainly in citrus fruits in different concentrations. diosmin for pharmaceutical use is obtained mainly semi-synthetically from hesperidin. hesperidin often accompanies diosmin as a natural impurity in different pharmaceutical formulations; therefore, a simple, fast and precise method for the simultaneous a...

this paper focuses on the effects of the addition of an ionic liquid, 1-allyl-3-butylimidazilium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide ([abim]tfsi), which has a high affinity for benzene, into the poly(vinyl chloride) (pvc) membrane on the pervaporation characteristics of the removal of benzene from aqueous solutions of dilute benzene. when aqueous solutions of 100～500 ppm benzene were permeated ...

a simple and rapid microextraction procedure based on the application of magnetic nanoparticles and hydrophobic 1-hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate [hpy][pf6] ionic liquid (il) was applied to trace determination of gatifloxacin. a mixture of [hpy][pf6] and magnetic nanoparticles was injected into the sample solution containing the analyse of interest and a cloudy solution was formed. after ce...

in this work, benzyl alcohol was obtained in 96% excellent yield by hydrolysis of benzyl chloride catalyzedby the recyclable temperature-dependant phase-separation system that comprised the ionic liquid peg1000-dail[bf4], toluene and ferric sulfate under homogeneous catalysis in aqueous media. this novel methodnot only enhanced the yield, but also made the operating units easy workup. the catal...

we used an effective electrochemical sensor for the determination of imipramine at ph 7.2 using a carbon nanocomposite electrode. the electrode has been designed by incorporation of montmorillonite nanoclay into the carbon ionic liquid electrode. the high sensitivity of 1.714 μa (μm)-1, two linear calibration ranges of 0.1–2 μm and 2-40 μm, and detection limit of 19 nm were achieved. the relati...

We report for the first time an ionic fluid based on hydroxylated fullerenes (fullerols). The ionic fluid was synthesized by neutralizing the fully protonated fullerol with an amine terminated polyethylene/polypropylene oxide oligomer (Jeffamine). The ionic fluid was compared to a control synthesized by mixing the partially protonated form (sodium form) of the fullerols with the same oligomeric...

Silica nanoparticles linked through ionic liquid-like molecules are synthesized by two routes. The first approach utilized a bis(trialkoxysilyl)-substituted imidazolium iodide to link the silica nanoparticles. In the second approach, the silica nanoparticles were first modified by 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane and N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)imidazole and then coupled through nucleophilic subst...

Calcium carbonate is an abundant substance that can be created in several mineral forms by the reaction of dissolved carbon dioxide in water with calcium ions. Through biomineralization, organisms can harness and control this process to form various functional materials that can act as anything from shells through to lenses. The early stages of calcium carbonate formation have recently attracte...

Recent advances in the study of ionic liquids based gel polymer electrolytes have been briefly reviewed in view of their electrochemical applications, particularly, their application as electrolytes in supercapacitors. The incorporation of ionic liquids in gel polymer electrolytes, instead of organic solvents like propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, etc., provide added effect in terms of t...

A simple, novel, efficient and three-component procedure for the synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione derivatives by the reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil, aldehyde and 2-benzylisothiourea hydrochloride promoted by ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([BMIm]Br) under solvent-free conditions is reported. The presented method is benefited from operational simplicity...
