Ionic Liquid Gels: Tunable and Multifaceted Materials

Materials based on ionic liquids retain properties of solvent components, like low vapor pressure, high thermal stability and structure tunability. The latter allows changing properties of materials by making small variations in the cation or anion structure, opening the way to a plethora of different applications. In this context, ionic liquid gels can represent a challenge especially if they are obtained from gelation of ionic liquid binary mixtures or of organic salts in ionic liquids. In the framework of our interest in studying ionic liquids properties and applications, in the last few years, we have addressed our attention to the obtainment of ionic liquid gels.1 We have deeply invest…

Determination of basic strenght of aliphatic amines through ion pair formation in some ionic liquid solutions

2010

To have an evaluation of the basic strength of aliphatic amines in ionic liquid solution, the stability constants relevant to the formation of amine/p-nitrophenol ion pairs were determined in different ionic liquids at 298 K. In particular, aliphatic (pyrrolidinium) and aromatic (imidazolium) ionic liquids were used. Imidazolium ions, bmim(+) and bm(2)im(+), having different hydrogen bond donor abilities were taken into account. Anions were chosen ([BF(4)(-)], [PF(6)(-)], and [NTf(2)(-)]; where NTf(2) = bis(trifluoromethansulfonyl)imide) showing different shape, size, and coordination ability. Several primary, secondary (cyclic or not), and tertiary amines were used to study the effect of a…

Ionic Liquids as Homogeneous Catalysts for Glycerol Oligomerization

2022

Ionic liquids (ILs) were used for the first time as catalysts for the glycerin condensation reaction. A series of imidazolium and ammonium ionic liquids differing in the length of the alkyl substituent (C2, C12, and C14) and the type of anion (Br−, CH3COO−, and NaHPO4−) were synthesized using a typical two-step method. The structure of the obtained ILs was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance 13C NMR, and their base power was determined on the basis of the Hammett function. The oligomerization of glycerin with the participation of the obtained ionic liquids and, for comparison, in the presence of a homogeneous basic catalyst Na2CO3, was carried out for 3 h at 180 °C, under a pressure of …

Shaping 1,2,4-Triazolium Fluorinated Ionic Liquid Crystals

2023

The synthesis and thermotropic behaviour of some di-alkyloxy-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolium trifluoromethane-sulfonate salts bearing a seven-carbon atom perfluoroalkyl chain on the cation is herein described. The fluorinated salts presenting a 1,2,4-triazole as a core and differing in the length of two alkyloxy chains on the phenyl ring demonstrated a typical liquid crystalline behaviour. The mesomorphic properties of this set of salts were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. The thermotropic properties are discussed on the grounds of the tuneable structures of the salts. The results showed the existence of a monotropic, columnar, liquid crystalline phase…

Nośnikowy katalizator wanadocenowy z udziałem cieczy jonowych w polimeryzacji etylenu

2018

W pracy zsyntezowano szereg układów SILP z katalizatorem wanadocenowym – Cp2VCl2 poprzez immobilizację cieczy jonowych na różne rodzaje krzemionek, różniących się powierzchnią właściwą i wielkością porów, które modyfikowano wybranym związkiem glinoorganicznym – AlEtCl2 lub AlEt2Cl. Zsyntezowane układy analizowano metodami: FTIR, analiza elementarna, BET, AAS i SEM. Każdy z otrzymanych układów SILP był aktywny w polimeryzacji etylenu, niezależnie od ilości i rodzaju zastosowanego aktywatora (AlEtCl2 lub AlEt2Cl). Najwyższą aktywność w polimeryzacji etylenu osiągnięto wobec układu SILP z udziałem krzemionki o bardzo regularnej morfologii, gdzie do utworzenia etylochloroglinianowych anionów pi…

Bio-based chitosan and cellulose ionic liquid gels: polymeric soft materials for the desulfurization of fuel

2022

Desulfurization of fuel that avoids the introduction in the atmosphere of toxic sulfur volatile compounds, usually formed during combustion, is a viable strategy to reduce pollution. To find new efficient and eco-sustainable adsorbent materials, bio-based polymers such as chitosan (CS), cellulose (CE) and cellulose acetate (CEOAc) were dissolved in ionic liquids (ILs) to form ionic liquid gels (ILGs). Gelling and swelling ability, porosity, morphology, rheology and mechanical response were studied as a function of the polymer and ionic liquid (IL) used. The best performing gels were tested for fuel desulfurization using a fuel mimicking solution of thiophene (T), benzothiophene (BT) and dib…
