Metal-containing ionic liquids and ionic liquid crystals based on imidazolium moiety

The impressive chemistry, applications and features of ionic liquids: properties, catalysis & catalysts and trends

“…The importance of carbenes as active catalytic species have been already reported, [61][62][63] especially those derived of 1,3-dialkylimidazolium cation. [63][64][65][66][67] Even though, there are many challenges surrounding the carbene chemistry and its potential applications in the field of organo-and organometallic catalysis. Without doubt, ILs are nowadays in front of a large and promising avenue towards catalysis development.…”

Ionic Structures of Nanobased FeCl3/[C4mim]Cl Ionic Liquids

“…8 Magnetic ionic liquids FeCl 3 /[C 4 mim]Cl were discovered as a key material for green chemistry on solvents and catalysts in these years. 5,13,14 Recently, nanostructured conducting polymers were synthesized by simply adding monomers into a 1/1 FeCl 3 /[C 4 mim]Cl ionic liquid, and magnetic field seems to affect these local structures and hence the resultant polymer nanostructures. 6,9,15 These facts suggest that magnetic ionic liquids could be widely used as magnetic liquids consisting of nanoparticles.…”

Ionogel Fiber Mats: Functional Materials via Electrospinning of PMMA and the Ionic Liquid Bis(1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium) Tetrachloridocuprate(II), [Bmim]2[CuCl4]

“…The same group also developed a CO 2 sensor using electrospun ionogels [54]. Shim and coworkers reported on vapor sensors for organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, tetrahydrofuran, acetone) based on electrospun poly(styrene/acrylonitrile)/ 6 ] nanofibers [55,56]. Liu et al obtained electrodes for the detection of dopamine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, guanine, and adenine from electrospun carbon nanofiber / 1-butyl-4-methyl-pyridinium hexaflurophosphate composite fibers [57].…”

“…Pimenta 6 ] raising the WCA from 141 to 153 • . Moreover, addition of the IL reduced the sliding angle from over 15 • (pure PS fibers) to below 10 • (ionogel fibers) [67].…”
