Impact of N-decyl-nicotineamide bromide on copper corrosion inhibition in acidic sulfate containing environment: Electrochemical and piezoelectrochemical insights.

This work investigates the inhibition effect and adsorption properties of a new tailor-made synthesized model molecule of ionic liquids, namely N-decyl nicotinamide bromide [CNic]Br in an acidic 0.1 M NaSO solution (pH = 2.7) against the corrosion of copper.

Widening the Stimuli-Responsiveness of Aqueous Biphasic Systems by Changing the Ionic Liquid Cation Basicity.

Herein we demonstrate the formation of new stimuli-responsive aqueous biphasic systems (ABS), able to respond simultaneously to temperature and pH, or just to one stimulus, therefore allowing the design of more sustainable separation processes. This dual behavior is achieved with ABS formed by mono- or dicationic protic ionic liquids as phase-forming components, being defined by the ionic liquid cation chemical structure or its basicity. While ABS comprising monocationic ionic liquids only respond to the effect of temperature, systems comprising dicationic ionic liquids are simultaneously affected by both temperature and pH variations.

From Synthesis to Functionality: Tailored Ionic Liquid-Based Electrospun Fibers with Superior Antimicrobial Properties.

Herein, we report an efficient and facile strategy for the preparation of imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) monomers ([CVIm][Br], = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) and their corresponding polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) with potent antimicrobial activities against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. The electrospinning technique was utilized to tailor the polymers with the highest antimicrobial potency into porous membranes that can be easily implemented into diverse systems and extend their practical bactericidal application. The antimicrobial mechanism of obtained ILs, polymers, and nanomaterials is considered concerning the bearing chain length, polymerization process, and applied processing technique that provides a unique fibrous structure.

Enhancing Bioactivity of -Chelating Rhodium(III) Complexes with Ionic Liquids: Toward Targeted Cancer Therapy.

This study investigates the potential of using ionic liquids as cosolvents to enhance the solubility and activity of poorly soluble rhodium(III) complexes, particularly those with diene, pyridine derivatives, and camphor-derived bis-pyrazolylpyridine ligands, in relation to 5'-GMP, CT-DNA, and HSA as well as their biological activity. Findings indicate that ionic liquids significantly increase the substitution activity of these complexes toward 5'-GMP while only marginally affecting DNA/HSA binding affinities with molecular docking, further confirming the experimental results. Lipophilicity assessments indicated good lipophilicity.
