Gluconic acid for eco-friendly Ionic Liquids: chemical and biological investigations
Ionic liquids (ILs) are employed in several fields thanks to their well-known properties. For a long time, ILs were considered the “green” alternative to conventional organic solvents.1 However, the increasing attention on environmental health led to consider different ILs structures and alternative synthetic pathways. Considering the tunability of IL structures, new synthetic approaches with natural sources as starting materials were taken into account.2 Here, new eco-friendly ILs were synthesised using gluconic acid. The structures carry gluconic moiety on the cation or as the anion (Figure 1). Hence, several OH groups decrease toxicity and shape a high coordinative site. These new organi…
Hybrid ionogels as potential antioxidant agents
In the present study, the influence of CNTs on the gelling ability of some carboxylate imidazolium gelators in ionic liquid solutions has been investigated.
