The growing interest in the use of ionic liquids may soon result in their presence in the environment. In any evaluation of the environmental fate of these compounds, their sorption on soil is an essential parameter. This paper reports data on the sorption of ionic liquids on selected soils and marine sediments. Batch-equilibrium adsorption tests were conducted on a selection of imidazolium ionic liquid entities. All the compounds were strongly sorbed on all the soils under study. It seems that, regardless of the hydrophobic interaction with organic matter, non-hydrophobic interactions contribute to the sorption of these compounds to soils and sediments, which usually tends to occur with highly polar ionized groups such as quaternary moieties.

Silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) is the main byproducts of the polysilicon industries. The dissolution behaviors of SiCl4 in imidazolium ionic liquid, including [Bmim]OTf, [Bmim]NTf2, [Hmim]NTf2, and [Omim]NTf2, were investigated for recycling Si from SiCl4. Raman spectroscopy was used to understand the combination between the ionic liquid and SiCl4, and the conductivity of ionic liquids in different conditions was determined. The results indicated that [Bmim]NTf2 exhibited a better SiCl4 dissolving capacity compared to [Bmim]OTf, longer alkyl chain lengths in the imidazolium cations of the ionic liquids exhibited a better performance in dissolving SiCl4, and [Bmim]NTf2 : PC = 1 : 2 exhibited the best conductivity. In addition, molecular bondings between C-Cl, Si-O-Si, and C-Si were formed between the ionic liquids and SiCl4.

Ionic ligands derived from a salen ligand containing two proximal 1,3-disubstituted imidazolium ionic liquid cores form cobalt(III) complexes capable of selectively oxidizing veratryl alcohol, a lignin model compound, to veratraldehyde using air as the source of oxygen. These complexes are easy to prepare, inexpensive, water stable, and soluble in ionic liquids, making them viable candidates for use as oxidation catalysts.

AbstractIonic liquids (IL) are gaining importance as green solvents. Imidazolium ionic liquid [bmim]+[Cl]−, an environmentally benign solvent, was found to promote the Diels-Alder reaction between anthrone and maleimides at room temperature with excellent yields. The ionic liquid played a dual role as solvent and catalyst.

Ionic liquids are exceptional chemical compounds that are used in many areas of modern science. Due to their highly adjustable nature and incomparable properties, ionic liquids have become key players in the areas of synthesis, catalysis, extraction, electrochemistry, analysis, biotechnology, etc. In addition to the physical and chemical properties of ionic liquids, their high biological activity has attracted considerable attention from biochemists, ecologists and medical professionals. Due to the properties mentioned above, an imidazolium ionic liquid solvent was used for the synthesis of nanostructure nanoparticles. In the present work, cubic form of pure Fe2O3, spherical nature of pure Ag (0) and hexagonal shaped hybrid Ag- Fe2O3 were successfully synthesized by a simple co-precipitation, reduction and co-precipitation processes. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized in detail by spectral studies such as IR, XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM analysis. The size and shape of the particles were performed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) techniques. Quality quantity and purity of the products was checked by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX).

The results of experimental investigations on electrorheological (ER) properties of lubricating oils which contain ionic liquids, are presented in this article. The investigations were carried out on the special stand which was projected for this aim. On this stand there was used the modified Brookfield viscosimeter. Electrorheological properties of two mixtures were tested, i.e., silicone damping liquid GP-1 which is polimethylsiloksane mixture containing 2% (v/v) of ionic liquid CJ 001, i.e., tetrafluoroboran 1-methyl-3-octyloxymethylimidazolium as well as base polialfaolefine oil PAO-6 which contains 2% (v/v) of ionic liquid CJ 008, i.e., trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. Selection of components of both mixtures was based on the results of investigations of miscible and on evaluation of basic phys-chem properties. The investigations showed that the made mixtures have generated the ER effect, but it was short-lived effect, suggesting the changes of inner structure of these mixtures. Therefore, we have planned the next investigations, among others dielectric spectroscopy and microscope observations in situ of these mixtures in external electric fields. The aim of those investigations will be to record the fading ER effect and to understand this mechanism. Keywords: electrorheological effect, homogenous mixtures, lubricants, ionic liquids

A number of dicationic ionic liquids with a disiloxane linker between imidazolium cations and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion were synthesized and characterized. Melting points, viscosity, and volatility in a vacuum were measured; the thermal and hydrolytic stability of ionic liquids were also studied. The dependence of the properties on the structure of substituents in the cation of the ionic liquid was demonstrated.

Ionic liquids with N,N¢-dialkylimidazolium cation characterized now as "green" solvents are investigated intensively to find their practical application. In this research the physical-chemical, electrochemical and corrosion properties of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (BMImBr) and its blends with water and bromides of silver (I), cupper (II) and tantalum (V) were studied. BMImBr is a hygroscopic ionic liquid and in depending on a water content can exists as a solid, liquid, metastable supercooled melt, and two-phase system – liquid and crystalline hydrate of BМImBr´0.5Н2О composition. At 1:1 components ratio the structural transformation of the melt (СН2О<50 mol%) « the solution (СН2О>50 мол.%) was observed. The BMImBr ionic liquid is a good solvent towards bromides of silver (I), cupper (II) and tantalum (V). These salts destroy the inter- and intramolecular interactions of BMImBr and generate the complex metal-containing ions with Br- anion of ionic liquid. As a result the glass temperature and the density increased, the melting point decreased and on isotherms of dynamic viscosity and specific electro conductivity a distinct minimum was observed at the low concentration range of the salt. Electrochemical window of BMImBr is 1.9 V and it is limited by bromide ions oxidation in the anodic potential range and by imidazolium cations reduction in the cathodic potential range. Additions of the water and the metals salt are an electrochemical active. In their presence the redox processes proceeds inside of the electrochemical window and the discharge-ionization process is the limiting steps. From IL studied the thin films of silver and copper can be deposited with good adhesion on metal substrates including tantalum and titanium. Investigated ionic liquids are a corrosive fluid, and corrosion of the metal increases dramatically in the presence of the same cations.

Membrane fusion is a key biological phenomenon with potential applications in biotechnology. In this work, we provide biophysical and structural evidence that liposomes composed of POPC/POPG phospholipids undergo fusion in the presence of ionic liquids containing 1-alkyl-3-methyl-imidazolium cations. The fusion phenomenon is confirmed using dynamic light scattering based size measurements, and Fluorescence based dye leakage and lipid mixing assays. <sup>1</sup>H-<sup>1</sup>H NOESY measurements using solid-state NMR spectroscopy were performed to obtain insights into fusion mechanism. It is found that ionic liquid induced splaying of phospholipid chains is crucial for overcoming the hydration barrier between the merging bilayers. Also, transiently lived fusion-holes are formed at the initial stages of bilayer mixing resulting in a leaky fusion phenomenon. <br><br>Although considered as “green” alternatives to conventional solvents, ionic liquids can exhibit cytotoxicity by altering the structural integrity of cellular membrane. Our study provides mechanistic details of the evolution of phospholipid membrane structure resulting in membrane fusion when subjected to increasing ionic liquid concentrations. We believe that findings of this study will further our understanding of ionic liquids induced cytotoxicity and non-protein assisted membrane fusion. <br><br>
