Four imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with two cations 1-pentyl-3-butylimidazolium [PBIM] and 1-benzyl-3-butylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BzBIM], and two anions tetrafluoroborate (BF) and trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf) were synthesized for NH solubility enhancement. The structural, thermal, and electrochemical stabilities, ionic conductivity, and viscosity of the four ILs, namely, [PBIM]BF, [BzBIM]BF, [PBIM]OTf, and [BzBIM]OTf, were investigated. Due to the intermolecular interaction of the benzyl group attached to the imidazolium ring, [BzBIM]-based ILs exhibited higher thermal stability but lower ionic conductivity compared to [PBIM]-based ILs.

- Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a viral disease spread by ticks, first reported in Vietnam in 2019.
- A study collected serum samples from 714 healthy residents in two provinces to assess SFTSV seroprevalence, finding an overall positivity rate of 3.64%.
- The seroprevalence in Vietnam is comparable to that in Pakistan, suggesting a potential increase in SFTS cases in Vietnam.
