Covalently Supported Imidazolium Salts In Catalysis
2020
Synthesis and catalytic applications of supported imidazolium salts covalently linked to the proper support are described. As supports here we report, among others, the use of amorphous and mesoporous silica, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes, magnetic-based silica, polystyrenes, halloysite nanotubes, carbon nanoforms such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanohorns, graphene. The catalytic applications have been divided into two main sections, metal-free based and metal-based reactions.
Naphthalimide imidazolium-based supramolecular hydrogels as bioimaging and theranostic soft materials
2020
1,8-Naphthalimide-based imidazolium salts differing for the alkyl chain length and the nature of the anion were synthesized and characterized to obtain fluorescent probes for bioimaging applications. First, their self-assembly behavior and gelling ability were investigated in water and water/dimethyl sulfoxide binary mixtures. Only salts having longer alkyl chains were able to give supramolecular hydrogels, whose properties were investigated by using a combined approach of fluorescence, resonance light scattering, and rheology measurements. Morphological information was obtained by scanning electron microscopy. In addition, conductive properties of organic salts in solution and gel state we…
Insights into the effect of the spacer on the properties of imidazolium based AIE luminogens
2021
Abstract With the aim to obtain organic salts with potential applications in high performance molecular electronics, we combined properties of π-conjugated spacers, like 1,4-diethynylbenzene and 1,6-diethynylpyrene, with the ones of both imidazole and imidazolium units. Physico-chemical properties of obtained fluorescent organic salts were investigated performing thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and cyclic voltammetry measurements (CV). Photophysical behavior of the salts was analyzed in conventional solvents and ionic liquids, by UV–vis and fluorescence investigation. Solution phase aggregation study revealed that these salts self-assemble in conve…
Organic salts and aromatic substrates in two-component gel phase formation: the study of properties and release processes
2015
To identify gel phases able to act as confined reaction media or materials for the removal of organic pollutants, we studied two-component gel phases formed by naphthalenedisulfonate diimidazolium salts in the presence of some organic guests, in 1-propanol solution. Guests differing in π-surface area, bulkiness and electronic properties were taken into account. Soft materials obtained were investigated for their thermal stability, self-repairing ability and morphology. Furthermore, two-component gel phase formation was studied using resonance light scattering (RLS) measurements. Guest release processes from the gel phase were also studied. These processes were monitored as a function of tim…
