Sm(III)-based ionic liquids incorporating hexanitratosamarate(III) anions were obtained and fully characterized as novel Sm(III)-containing organic complexes. The structure of the ionic liquids was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (1: monoclinic system C2/c space group with cell parameters: a = 19.5624(4) Å, b = 10.11895(18) Å, c = 33.2256(6) Å, β = 101.2912(18)°, Z = 8). The central Sm(III) ion is 12-coordinated by six bidentate nitrate ligands with twelve oxygen donors to form a [Sm(NO3)6](3-) anion. The low melting point, high thermostability and wide liquid range of these ionic liquids were determined in detail. All the complexes 1-5 display orange luminescence, rather than red luminescence as in most Sm(III)-containing organic complexes. Three characteristic monochromatic bands and an intense emission, derived from (4)G5/2→(6)HJ (J = 5/2, 7/2, and 9/2) intraconfigurational f-f transitions, were revealed. All these complexes exhibit long luminescence lifetimes.

As technology has developed by leaps and bounds over decades, the development of high-performance supramolecular adhesives has become crucial in both scientific and industrial fields. Ionic liquids (ILs)-based adhesives, containing ILs segment, utilizing ILs chemical structure as either the primary adhesive component or key functional group, have materialized as a highly transformative subject matter for cutting-edge and emerging applications. Rational adhesive design strategies, carefully balancing adhesion and cohesion behavior, are also required when constructing ILs-based adhesives.

Among all the materials resulting from the recovery of biomass, humin coproducts are produced today on a large scale, particularly in the sugar industry and biorefineries. Humins formation, with typical yields between 10 and 50 wt %, significantly reduces the efficiency and economic viability of the processes. With their complex structure, low solubility, and low reactivity, their valorization constitutes a real challenge.

In the present era, the treatment of skin-infected wounds and their associated inflammation constitutes a significant challenge. These infections have the potential to impede the healing process and become a life-threatening pathology, particularly due to the rise of bacterial resistance. Hydrogels could successfully address this issue due to their unique capabilities and versatility.

High-efficiency lithium (Li) extraction from a salt-lake brine with a low Li concentration and a high Mg/Li mass ratio poses a great challenge owing to the great physical and chemical similarities between Mg and Li. In this study, a hollow fiber (HF) membrane with an inside diameter of 0.872 mm and an outside diameter of 1.

Hypergolic ionic liquids (HILs) represent a critical pool of reactive ionic liquids which ignite spontaneously in absence of oxygen when mixed with an oxidizer such as white fuming nitric acid (WFNA, HNO3) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). These HILs have emerged as greener alternative to the toxic hydrazine family of fuels for operations in space under anaerobic conditions. Here, we report on the unusual atmospheric ignition chemistry of the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cyanoborohydride ([EMIM][CBH])-H2O2 bipropellant while comparing with the parent hypergolic reaction by exploiting a chirped-pulse triggered droplet merging technique in an ultrasonic levitation apparatus under controlled environment.
