Poly(ionic liquid)/Wood Composite-Derived B/N-Codoped Porous Carbons Possessing Peroxidase-like Catalytic Activity.

The pursuit of efficient and cost-effective metal-free heterogeneous catalytic systems remains a challenging task in materials research. Heteroatom-doped carbonaceous materials are increasingly recognized as powerful metal-free catalysts, often demonstrating catalytic performance comparable to or even surpassing metal-based alternatives. This is attributed to their tunable physicochemical properties, tailorable structural features, and environmentally friendly profile.

Ready Access to Anhydrous Anionic Lanthanide Acetates by Using Imidazolium Acetate Ionic Liquids as the Reaction Medium.

Access to lanthanide acetate coordination compounds is challenged by the tendency of lanthanides to coordinate water and the plethora of acetate coordination modes. A straightforward, reproducible synthetic procedure by treating lanthanide chloride hydrates with defined ratios of the ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C mim][OAc]) has been developed. This reaction pathway leads to two isostructural crystalline anhydrous coordination complexes, the polymeric [C mim] [{Ln (OAc) } ] and the dimeric [C mim] [Ln (OAc) ], based on the ion size and the ratio of IL used.
