2-Hydroxyethylammonium formate acts as a task-specific ionic liquid (TSIL) for the Knoevenagel condensation of carbonyl compounds with rhodanine to afford arylalkylidene rhodanines under solvent-free conditions and in good-to-excellent yields. Additionally, compared with those in organic solvents, the yields obtained in the presence of our ionic liquid (IL) were significantly increased. The detailed mechanism of the catalytic effect of TSIL is also reported for the first time.

<p>Simple ionic liquids exhibit unique physical and chemical<br />properties that make them very useful for deployment in electrochemical<br />devices such as solvent-free electrolytes in capacitors and batteries.<br />However, incorporating redox functionality into ionic liquid<br />structures opens up in situ faradaic electrochemistry which allows access<br />to a large array of new electrochemical applications reliant upon<br />heterogeneous or homogenous electron-transfer processes. This paper<br />presents and discusses the opportunities and challenges for these types<br />of electro-materials across a myriad of applications by considering<br />exemplar quinone-functionalised ionic liquids.</p>

The production of cyclic carbonates from CO2 cycloaddition to epoxides, using the C-scorpionate iron(II) complex [FeCl2{κ3-HC(pz)3}] (pz = 1H-pyrazol-1-yl) as a catalyst, is achieved in excellent yields (up to 98%) in a tailor-made ionic liquid (IL) medium under mild conditions (80 °C; 1–8 bar). A favorable synergistic catalytic effect was found in the [FeCl2{κ3-HC(pz)3}]/IL system. Notably, in addition to exhibiting remarkable activity, the catalyst is stable during ten consecutive cycles, the first decrease (11%) on the cyclic carbonate yield being observed during the 11th cycle. The use of C-scorpionate complexes in ionic liquids to afford cyclic carbonates is presented herein for the first time.

A detailed investigation is presented for the solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles from ε-Zn(OH)2 crystals by high-energy ball milling. Only a few works have ever explored the dry synthetic route from ε-Zn(OH)2 to ZnO. The milling process of ε-Zn(OH)2 was done in ambient conditions with a 1:100 powder/ball mass ratio, and it produced uniform ZnO nanoparticles with sizes of 10–30 nm, based on the milling duration. The process was carefully monitored and the effect of the milling duration on the powder composition, nanoparticle size and strain, optical properties, aggregate size, and material activity was examined using XRD, TEM, DLS, UV-Vis, and FTIR. The mechanism for the transformation of ε-Zn(OH)2 to ZnO was studied by TGA and XPS analysis. The study gave proof for a reaction mechanism starting with a phase transition of crystalline ε-Zn(OH)2 to amorphous Zn(OH)2, followed by decomposition to ZnO and water. To the best of our knowledge, this mechanochemical approach for synthesizing ZnO from ε-Zn(OH)2 is completely novel. ε-Zn(OH)2 crystals are very easy to obtain, and the milling process is done in ambient conditions; therefore, this work provides a simple, cheap, and solvent-free way to produce ZnO nanoparticles in dry conditions. We believe that this study could help to shed some light on the solvent-free transition from ε-Zn(OH)2 to ZnO and that it could offer a new synthetic route for synthesizing ZnO nanoparticles.

Ionic liquid [N112OH][HSO4] was found to be an efficient and reusable catalyst for Pechmann reaction under solvent-free conditions. UV-vis studies suggested that the high catalytic performance of this catalyst was mainly due to its ability to increase the content of keto tautomer of ethyl acetoacetate.
