We report the synthesis of a new series of imidazolium-based halogen-free ionic liquids 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium lauryl sulfates. By reacting 1-methylimidazole (MIM) with butyl, hexyl, octyl, and decyl bromides and exchanging bromide ion with lauryl sulfate anion, a series of ionic liquids [RMIM][C(12)H(25)OSO(3)] were produced. The high purity of these ionic liquids was verified with (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, FT-IR and mass spectrometry (MS), demonstrating the effectiveness of this synthetic approach. Solubility test of these ionic liquids showed that they are soluble in most organic solvents except nonpolar solvents such as hexane and cyclohexane. The optical properties of [BMIM]Br and [BMIM][C(12)H(25)OSO(3)], where B refers to butyl, were examined. Both ionic liquids absorbed light in the UV region, yet essentially no absorption was recorded beyond 450 nm. Furthermore, both ionic liquids showed excitation wavelength-dependent fluorescence behavior. As an example, with an excitation wavelength of 360 nm, [BMIM][C(12)H(25)OSO(3)] showed an emission band maximum at 447 nm. Increasing the excitation wavelength to 440 nm, the emission band maximum was shifted to approximately 500 nm.

Bacterial endospores are ubiquitous and are responsible for various human infections. Recently, we reported that an ionic liquid (IL)-based sample preparation method (named pTRUST) facilitated highly efficient shotgun analysis of the Bacillus subtilis spore proteome in trace samples. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency and applicability of the pTRUST technology using three different spore preparations: one purified from the closely related subspecies B.

Valorization of carbohydrate-rich biomass by conversion into industrially relevant products is at the forefront of research in sustainable chemistry. In this work, we studied the inulin conversion into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, in deep eutectic solvents, in the presence of acidic task-specific ionic liquids as catalysts. We employed aliphatic and aromatic ionic liquids as catalysts, and choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents bearing glycols or carboxylic acids, as solvents.

Nitrogen-based fertilizers are crucial in agriculture for maintaining soil health and increasing crop yields. Soil microorganisms transform nitrogen from fertilizers into NO3--N, which is absorbed by crops. However, some nitrogen is converted to nitrous oxide (NO), a greenhouse gas with a warming potential about 300-times greater than carbon dioxide (CO).

Ion transport in solid polymer electrolytes is crucial for applications like energy conversion and storage, as well as carbon dioxide capture. However, most of the materials studied in this area are petroleum-based. Natural materials (biopolymers) have the potential to act as alternatives to petroleum-based products and, when derived with ionic liquid (IL) functionalities, present a sustainable alternative for conductive materials by offering tunable morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties.

Ionogels have attracted considerable attention as versatile materials due to their unique ionic conductivity and thermal stability. However, relatively weak mechanical performance of many existing ionogels has hindered their broader application. Herein, we develop robust, tough, and impact-resistant mechanically interlocked network ionogels (IGMINs) by incorporating ion liquids with mechanical bonds that can dissipate energy while maintain structural stability.
