Low viscosity ionic liquids based on organic salts of the dicyanamide anion

Physicochemical properties and toxicities of hydrophobic piperidinium and pyrrolidinium ionic liquids

“…Typical ionic liquids contain large organic cations, such as ammonium, imidazolium, pyridinium, piperidinium or pyrrolidinium cations, and halogen, fluorinated or organic anions. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Ionic liquids are often referred to as environment-friendly and safe solvents because, at normal temperatures, they have essentially zero vapor pressure, and because they have high thermal stability. Ionic liquids exhibit a broad range of physico-chemical properties, depending on the anion and cation.…”

“…Many studies have investigated thermal stability, melting points, densities, viscosities, mutual solubilities with water and conductivities. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, very few toxicological studies have been reported for ionic liquids. There is growing interest in cytotoxicities, in aqueous environmental impact as well as in structureactivity relationship for ILs.…”

Easy approach to synthesize N/P/K co-doped porous carbon microfibers from cane molasses as a high performance supercapacitor electrode material

“…The cathodic and anodic limiting potentials of neat TEABF 4 , EMIBF 4 and EMIDCA ILs are found to be À1.3/+1.0 V, À2.0/+2.4 V and À2.0/+1.5 V, respectively. [43][44][45] Thus, the capacitive energy storage in ILs/ACN mixtures should be higher and supercapacitors could be charged and discharged to higher operating cell potential (up to anodic limiting potential of 3.0 V) in comparison to aqueous K 2 SO 4 solution with anodic limiting potential of 1.0 V without sacricing the rate performance. Similar observation was reported by Lei and colleagues.…”

Wireless radio frequency detection of greatly simplified polymeric membranes based on a multifunctional ionic liquid

“…Complexation of this ligand with heavy metals results in net neutral complexes of 1, 2 and 3 dimensions [38,39] plus electrochemically neutral co-ordinated polymers [40]. It was first used as an anion for IL's as its extensive electron delocalisation meant it only exhibited electrostatic interactions with the IL cation; resulting in a liquid with a comparably low viscosity [41].…”
