Aqueous biphasic systems composed of ionic liquid and fructose

Liquid–liquid equilibria data of the [Bmim]BF₄ + fructose + water system were determined at 298.15, 308.15, 31815 K. It was found that the liquid–liquid equilibria can be formed over a wide component range and the effect of the temperature on the phase equilibria is obvious within the fructose concentration changing from 3 to 40%. The binodal curves were correlated using a five-parameter equation, and the tie lines were fitted the Othmer–Tobias and Bancroft correlations. Correlation coefficients for the equations exceeded 0.99.

Low-melting, low-viscous, hydrophobic ionic liquids: aliphatic quaternary ammonium salts with perfluoroalkyltrifluoroborates

A novel class of low-melting, hydrophobic ionic liquids based on relatively small aliphatic quaternary ammonium cations ([R(1)R(2)R(3)NR](+), wherein R(1), R(2), R(3) = CH(3) or C(2)H(5), R = n-C(3)H(7), n-C(4)H(9), CH(2)CH(2)OCH(3)) and perfluoroalkyltrifluoroborate anions ([R(F)BF(3)](-), R(F) = CF(3), C(2)F(5), n-C(3)F(7), n-C(4)F(9)) have been prepared and characterized. The important physicochemical and electrochemical properties of these salts, including melting point, glass transition, viscosity, density, ionic conductivity, thermal and electrochemical stability, have been determined and comparatively studied with those based on the corresponding [BF(4)](-) and [(CF(3)SO(2))(2)N](-) salts. The influence of the structure variation in the quaternary ammonium cation and perfluoroalkyltrifluoroborate ([R(F)BF(3)](-)) anion on the above physicochemical properties is discussed. Most of these salts are liquids at 25 degrees C and exhibit low viscosities (58-210 cP at 25 degrees C) and moderate conductivities (1.1-3.8 mS cm(-1)). The electrochemical windows of these salts are much larger than those of the corresponding 1,3-dialkyimidazolium salts. Additionally, a number of [R(F)BF(3)](-) salts exhibit plastic crystal behavior.     

Reactivity of trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride, a room-temperature phosphonium ionic liquid

Trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride 1, a room-temperature ionic liquid, readily undergoes deuterium isotope exchange reaction in deuterated solvents. Under basic conditions, ionic liquid 1 was reactive and 50% deuterium exchanged on all four P–CH₂ methylene groups in 9 h at ambient temperature, 30 min at 50 °C, or 12 min at 65 °C. In addition, ionic liquid 1 reacted with sodium salts of substituted benzoates apparently through the direct S_N2 carboxylate alkylation to form esters 2 and the resulting esters further converted, via Wittig reaction, to finally afford aryl ketones 4.

The thermodynamic data are discussed in terms of a simple electrostatic model of association.

Reactions of bismuth iodide with ammonium,phosphonium, and bismuthonium salts

The reactions of ammonium, phosphonium, and bismuthonium salts with bismuth iodide were used to synthesize a series of complex compounds with bismuth-containing anions: [(HOC₂H₄)₃NH]⁺ ₄[Bi₄I₁₆]^4?, [Ph₃EtP] ₃ ⁺ [Bi₂I₉]^3?, and [Ph₄Bi] ₃ ⁺ [Bi₅I₁₈]^3?. X-ray diffraction data show that the nitrogen atoms in the two types of crystallographically independent cations of the nitrogen-containing complex possess a distorted tetrahedral coordination [the CNC angles are 110.3(9)°–113.2(9)°]. In the tetranuclear centrosymmetric [Bi₄I₁₆]^4? anion, the bismuth atoms have an octahedral coordination: Two types of groups, BiI₂ and BiI₃, are bound with one another by four μ₂-and two μ₃-iodine bridges (the Bi-I-μ₂, Bi-I-μ₃, and Bi-I-μ₁ distances are 3.1296(10), 3.2808(8); 3.3210(8) and 2.8670(8)–2.9108(9) Å, respectively). The coordination of the phosphorus atom in the [Ph₃EtP]⁺ cations of the phosphorus-containing complex is close to tetrahedral (the CPC angles are 107.5°–114.1°). In the binuclear [Bi₂I₉]^3? anions, the bismuth atoms have an octahedral coordination. The axial I-Bi-I angles are 167.52(2)°, 169.84(2)°, and 174.97(2)°. The terminal BiI₃ fragments [Bi²-I^7,8,9 2.9238(7), 2.9236(7), and 2.9522(7) Å] are in the eclipsed conformation.     

Induction of thermotropic bicontinuous cubic phases in liquid-crystalline ammonium and phosphonium salts

Two series of wedge-shaped onium salts, one ammonium and the other phosphonium, having 3,4,5-tris(alkyloxy)benzyl moieties, exhibit thermotropic bicontinuous "gyroid" cubic (Cub(bi)) and hexagonal columnar liquid-crystalline (LC) phases by nanosegregation between ionophilic and ionophobic parts. The alkyl chain lengths on the cationic moieties, anion species, and alkyl chain lengths on the benzyl moieties have crucial effects on their thermotropic phase behavior. For example, triethyl-[3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzyl]ammonium hexafluorophosphate forms the thermotropic Ia3d Cub(bi) LC phase, whereas an analogous compound with trifluoromethanesulfonate anion shows no LC properties. Synchrotron small-angle diffraction intensities from the Ia3d Cub(bi) LC materials provide electron density maps in the bulk state. The resulting maps show convincingly that the Ia3d Cub(bi) structure is composed of three-dimensionally interconnected ion nanochannel networks surrounded by aliphatic domains. A novel differential mapping technique has been applied successfully. The map of triethyl-[3,4,5-tris(decyloxy)benzyl]ammonium tetrafluoroborate has been subtracted from that of the analogous ammonium salt with hexafluorophosphate anion in the Ia3d Cub(bi) phases. The differential map shows that the counteranions are located in the core of the three-dimensionally interconnected nanochannel networks. Changing from trimethyl- via triethyl- to tripropylammonium cation changes the phase from columnar to Cub(bi) to no mesophase, respectively. This sensitivity to the widened shape for the narrow end of the molecule is explained successfully by the previously proposed semiquantitative geometric model based on the radial distribution of volume in wedge-shaped molecules. The LC onium salts dissolve lithium tetrafluoroborate without losing the Ia3d Cub(bi) LC phase. The Cub(bi) LC materials exhibit efficient ion-transporting behavior as a result of their 3D interconnected ion nanochannel networks. The Ia3d Cub(bi) LC material formed by triethyl-[3,4,5-tris(decyloxy)benzyl]phosphonium tetrafluoroborate shows ionic conductivities higher than the analogous Ia3d Cub(bi) material based on ammonium salts. The present study indicates great potential of Cub(bi) LC nanostructures consisting of ionic molecules for development of transportation nanochannel materials.     

Effect of alkali metal salts on decomposition of ionic liquid like organic salt

N ¹,N ¹,N ²,N ²-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine-based ionic salts (TMEDA), N ¹,N ¹,N ¹,N ²,N ²,N ²-hexamethylethane-1,2-diaminium dicyanamide (HMEDA-(DCA)₂) were prepared following the quaternization and subsequent ion exchange. The chemical structure of the HMEDA-(DCA)₂ was confirmed using ¹³C NMR spectrum and elemental analysis. The corresponding viscosity of its 60 wt% solution was found to be lower than 5 cP at room temperature, which was critical for propellant application. The ignition delay of 40 wt% HMEDA-(DCA)₂ solution was decreased to 20–30 ms dramatically using alkali metal salts, Li(CH₃COO), Mg(CH₃COO)₂, and Ca(CH₃COO)₂ as a co-catalyst when white fume nitric acid was utilized as an oxidizer.     

Functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles templated by pyridinium ionic liquid for hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug release application

Chemotherapy is the most common treatment for all cancer patients but this treatment poses many side effects due to lack of drug’s selectivity. To overcome this problem, utilizing a better and more effective delivery agent is the solution. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) emerged as a promising platform in development of drug delivery agent. This is due to its desirable properties such as tunable pores, large surface area, good biocompatibility and easy functionalization. Furthermore, these properties can be tuned through the utilization of alternative template such as pyridinium ionic liquid. Besides, by employing surface functionalization, the effectiveness of MSNs as drug delivery agent may also increase. This work reported the usage of 1-hexadecylpyridinium bromide ionic liquid as template for MSNs production and the surface of MSNs was then further functionalized via post – grafting method in order to obtain MSN – NH₂, MSN – SH and MSN – COOH as drug carrier, respectively. These functionalized MSNs were then used to study the drug loading and drug release of hydrophilic drug, gemcitabine and hydrophobic drug, quercetin. For quercetin, MSN-NH₂ had the highest drug loading percentage (72%) and slowest release (14%) in 48 h while for gemcitabine, it was found that MSN-COOH had the highest drug loading percentage (45%) and slowest release (15%) in 48 h. Based on the results, it is suggested that mesoporous silica nanoparticle with surface functionalization has suitable properties for controlled drug release which gives constant release behavior over a period of time to avoid repeated administration of drug where the drug is administered at a fixed dosage and regular time interval.     

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography using a high-temperature phosphonium ionic liquid column

A high-temperature ionic liquid, trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide, was used as the primary column stationary phase for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC). The ionic liquid (IL) column was coupled to a 5% diphenyl/95% dimethyl polysiloxane (HP-5) secondary column. The retention characteristics of the IL column were compared to polyethylene glycol (DB-Wax) and 50% phenyl/50% methyl polysiloxane (HP-50+). A series of homologous compounds that included hydrocarbons, oxygenated organics, and halogenated alkanes were analyzed with each column combination. This comparison showed that the ionic liquid is less polar than DB-Wax but more polar than HP-50+. The most unique feature of the IL × HP-5 column combination is that alkanes, cyclic alkanes, and alkenes eluted in a narrow band in the GC × GC chromatogram; whereas, these compounds occupied a much larger portion of the DB-Wax × HP-5 and the HP-50+ × HP-5 chromatograms. Each column combination was used to analyze diesel fuel. The IL × HP-5 chromatogram displayed narrow bands for three major compound classes in diesel fuel: saturates, monoaromatics, and diaromatics. The IL column was used at temperatures as high as 290 °C for several months without any noticeable changes in column performance.

Liquid-liquid equilibria of butyric acid for solvents containing a phosphonium ionic liquid

L/L equilibrium data of butyric acid (BA) in aqueous solutions contacted with the solvents containing ionic liquid (IL), trihexyl-(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis 2,4,4-trimethylpentylphosphinate (Cyphos IL-104), and a related model are presented. IL-104 and its solutions in dodecane were found to be effective solvents of BA. The values of the distribution coefficients of BA were higher than those for solvents with the widely used extractant trioctylamine, especially at low acid concentrations and were also several-fold higher than those of lactic acid (LA). IL extracted BA only in its undissociated form (BAH) at pH well below pK _a of the acid. The loading of IL was independent of IL concentration and it achieved a value higher than four at saturation. Complexes with 1–5 molecules of BA per one IL molecule were supposed in the mass action model in which the reactive formation of complexes (BAH) _p (IL)(H₂O)₂ was supposed. Up to 10 % of the total extracted BA was extracted physically by dodecane as a monomer and dimer, in the solvent. The water content in the organic phase steeply decreased with the BA concentration, which was caused by splitting water-IL reverse micelles due to the formation of the BAH/IL complexes.

Analysis of quaternary ammonium and phosphonium ionic liquids by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with charged aerosol detection and unified calibration

Several hydrophobic ionic liquids (ILs) based on long-chain aliphatic ammonium- and phosphonium cations and selected aromatic anions were analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) employing trifluoroacetic acid as ion-pairing additive to the acetonitrile-containing mobile phase and adopting a step-gradient elution mode. The coupling of charged aerosol detection (CAD) for the non-chromophoric aliphatic cations with diode array detection (DAD) for the aromatic anions allowed their simultaneous analysis in a set of new ILs derived from either tricaprylmethylammonium chloride (Aliquat 336) and trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride as precursors. Aliquat 336 is a mix of ammonium cations with distinct aliphatic chain lengths. In the course of the studies it turned out that CAD generates an identical detection response for all the distinct aliphatic cations. Due to lack of single component standards of the individual Aliquat 336 cation species, a unified calibration function was established for the quantitative analysis of the quaternary ammonium cations of the ILs. The developed method was validated according to ICH guidelines, which confirmed the validity of the unified calibration. The application of the method revealed molar ratios of cation to anion close to 1 indicating a quantitative exchange of the chloride ions of the precursors by the various aromatic anions in the course of the synthesis of new ILs. Anomalies of CAD observed for the detection of some aromatic anions (thiosalicylate and benzoate) are discussed.     

Enantiodifferentiation of acyclic phosphonium salts in chiral liquid crystalline solutions

The enantiodifferentiation of acyclic phosphonium salts bearing a stereogenic centre, whether on the phosphorus atom or on one of its substituents, was investigated by ²H–{¹H}, ¹³C–{¹H} and ³¹P–{¹H} NMR in chiral liquid crystals composed of a polypeptide dissolved in an organic solvent. For the first time, the enantiomers of P-chirogenic phosphorus compounds were discriminated in these anisotropic media, affording good to excellent separation of the signals, allowing the determination of their proportion. While ³¹P–{¹H} NMR spectra showed no chiral separation, ²H–{¹H} NMR was efficient in the enantiodifferentiation of an isotopically labelled compound. Better still, ³¹C–{¹H} NMR in chiral liquid crystal appears as a powerful method for the enantiodifferentiation of this class of compounds, since separations of the signal up to 0.8 ppm were observed. In this commercially available anisotropic medium, ²H and ¹³C NMR offers a new promising alternative method for the enantiodifferentiation of chiral phosphonium salts.

Catalytic phosphorylation of polyfluoroalkanols 13. Some ammonium and phosphonium salts as phosphorylation catalysts

It was shown that it is possible to use a series of ammonium and phosphonium salts as effective catalysts for the preparative synthesis of tris(polyfluoroalkyl) phosphates. The effect of the structure of substituted ammonium salts on their catalytic activity was studied in the phosphorylation of 1,1-dihydroperfluorobutanol by phosphorus oxychloride. It was determined that the reaction rate is affected not only by the solubility of the salt, but also by the nature of the ion pair and the steric access of the onium center for solvation by phosphoryl compounds.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2789–2792, December, 1989.
