Study of the Alkyl Chain Length on Laccase Stability and Enzymatic Kinetic with Imidazolium Ionic Liquids

The activity and stability of laccase and their kinetic mechanisms in water soluble ionic liquids (ILs): 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride [C₄mim][Cl], 1-octyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride [C₈mim][Cl], and 1-decyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride [C₁₀mim][Cl] were investigated. The results show that an IL concentration up to 10% is satisfactory for initial laccase activity at pH 9.0. The laccase stability was well maintained in [C₄mim][Cl] IL when compared to the control. The inactivation of laccase increases with the length of the alkyl chain in the IL: [C₁₀mim][Cl] > [C₈mim][Cl] > [C₄mim][Cl]. The kinetic studies in the presence of ABTS as substrate allowed calculating the Michaelis–Menten parameters. Among the ILs, [C₄mim][Cl] was the suitable choice attending to laccase activity and stability. Alkyl chains in the ions of ILs have a deactivating effect on laccase, which increases strongly with the length of the alkyl chain.     

Interactions between a dsDNA Oligonucleotide and Imidazolium Chloride Ionic Liquids: Effect of Alkyl Chain Length,Part I

Ionic liquids (ILs) have become nearly ubiquitous solvents and their interactions with biomolecules has been a focus of study. Here, we used the fluorescence emission of DAPI, a groove binding fluorophore, coupled with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to report on interactions between imidazolium chloride ([Im_n,1]⁺) ionic liquids and a synthetic DNA oligonucleotide composed entirely of T/A bases (7(TA)) to elucidate the effects ILs on a model DNA duplex. Spectral shifts on the order of 500–1000 cm⁻¹, spectral broadening (~1000 cm⁻¹), and excitation and emission intensity ratio changes combine to give evidence of an increased DAPI environment heterogeneity on added IL. Fluorescence lifetimes for DAPI/IL solutions yielded two time constants 0.15 ns (~80% to 60% contribution) and 2.36–2.71 ns for IL up to 250 mM. With DNA, three time constants were required that varied with added IL (0.33–0.15 ns (1–58% contribution), ~1.7–1.0 ns (~5% contribution), and 3.8–3.6 ns (94–39% contribution)). MD radial distribution functions revealed that π-π stacking interactions between the imidazolium ring were dominant at lower IL concentration and that electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions become more prominent as IL concentration increased. Alkyl chain alignment with DNA and IL-IL interactions also varied with IL. Collectively, our data showed that, at low IL concentration, IL was primarily bound to the DNA minor groove and with increased IL concentration the phosphate regions and major groove binding sites were also important contributors to the complete set of IL-DNA duplex interactions.     

Interactions of Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids with Water Studied by Density and Speed of Sound Measurements: Effect of the Chain Length of an Alkyl Substituent on the Imidazolium Ion

Densities and speeds of sound of three ionic liquids (ILs), 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazoliumtetrafluoroborate (C₂mimBF₄), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate (C₄mimBF₄) and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate (C₆mimBF₄) were measured in aqueous solutions at (288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15) K. These data were used to calculate the volumetric properties apparent molar volume and apparent molar isentropic compression as a function of molality. Infinite dilution values for these properties were evaluated by an extrapolation procedure based on Redlich–Meyer type equations. Apparent molar isobaric expansions at infinite dilution were also obtained from the slopes of the apparent molar volume at infinite dilution versus temperature. All these properties are interpreted in terms of IL–water interactions. The hydrolysis of the \( {\text{BF}}_{4}^{ - } \) anion of the ILs and its effects on the results is discussed.

Effect of Cosolvent on Bulk and Interfacial Characteristics of Imidazolium Based Room Temperature Ionic Liquids

Here we report a systematic study on electrical conductivity and surface tension of various concentrated solutions of imidazolium based room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), viz. 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][ $\hbox {PF}_{6}$ ]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][ $\hbox {BF}_{4}$ ]) in the cosolvents methanol and acetonitrile at 298.15 K. The aim of the investigations was to explore the impact of cosolvents on bulk and interfacial characteristics of imidazolium based RTILs. It was observed that both methanol and acetonitrile mix non-ideally with and enhance the transport parameters of the imidazolium based RTILs. An interesting outcome of the presented work is that the investigated RTILs retain their inherent structural characteristics up to a high dilution limit with cosolvent, and this limit is higher in acetonitrile than in methanol as cosolvent. The findings establish that, in comparison to methanol, acetonitrile is a better cosolvent that can be used for enhancing the transport parameters of imidazolium based RTILs for electrochemical and other applications. The results are explained in light of structure-composition-property relations and ion-ion and ion-cosolvent interactions.     

Diffusion Coefficients of Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids in Aqueous Solutions

Diffusion coefficients of the ionic liquids [C₂MIM][EtSO₄], [C₄MIM][OcSO₄], [C₂MIM][NTf₂] and [C₄MIM][NTf₂] in water at high dilution have been measured using the Taylor dispersion technique. Data on the diffusion coefficients have been obtained for each solute at six temperatures between 288 and 313 K. The data have been fitted by the Arrhenius equation and activation energies of diffusion have been determined. Effective radii of the ionic liquid molecules have also been obtained using the Stokes–Einstein relationship.

Phase Transitions and Electrochemical Properties of Ionic Liquids and Ionic Liquid—Solvent Mixtures

Recent advances in studies of ionic liquids (IL) and ionic liquid–solvent mixtures are reviewed. Selected experimental, simulation, and theoretical results for electrochemical, thermodynamical, and structural properties of IL and IL-solvent mixtures are described. Special attention is paid to phenomena that are not predicted by the classical theories of the electrical double layer or disagree strongly with these theories. We focus on structural properties, especially on distribution of ions near electrodes, on electrical double layer capacitance, on effects of confinement, including decay length of a dissjoining pressure between confinig plates, and on demixing phase transition. In particular, effects of the demixing phase transition on electrochemical properties of ionic liquid–solvent mixtures for different degrees of confinement are presented.     

Extraction of Metal Ions from Aqueous Solutions Using Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids

This article represents a step towards how to choose an ionic liquid as the solvent to improve metal ion (Ag⁺ and Pb²⁺) extraction. The liquid-liquid solvent extraction is proposed with the following imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs): 1-ethyl-3-ethylimidazolium, or 1-butyl-3-ethylimidazolium, or 1-hexyl-3-ethylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sylfonyl}imide [EEIM][NTf₂], or [BEIM][NTf₂], or [HEIM][NTf₂], or 1-butyl-3-ethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [BEIM][PF₆], or 1-hexyl-3-ethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [HEIM][PF₆] and the popular 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [BMIM][PF₆] for comparison. The effect of anion type (NTf₂⁻ versus PF₆⁻) and the effect of structural components of an ionic liquid including alkyl chain length at the cation and the ethyl substituent instead methyl at the cation, on the extraction and re-extraction processes by using dithizone as a metal chelator, were studied at 296 K. Dithizone was employed to form neutral metal-dithizone complexes with heavy metal ions to extract them from aqueous solution into the ILs.
