Understanding molecular motion in terms of molecular structure is an important issue for microscopic understanding of the nature of transport properties and glass transition, and for design of structured materials to meet specific demands in various applications. Herein, a novel molecular mechanism is proposed to connect macroscopic motion in ionic liquids with molecular structure via conformational conversions of the constituent ions or of the cation-anion pairs. New equations for description of relaxation time, diffusion coefficient, molar conductivity, and viscosity of ionic liquids are established. The equation parameters, which were determined from the temperature dependent heat capacities, self-diffusion coefficients, molar conductivities, and viscosities of typical ionic liquids, were used to produce predictions for the corresponding properties of other ionic liquids and for the glass transition temperatures of representative ionic liquids. All predictions are in nice agreements with the experimental results.

Effect of gabapentin on solution surface properties and micellization behavior of betaine-based surfactant ionic liquids.
Sci Rep

Department of Physical Chemistry, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the surface properties and electrical conductivity of betaine-based ionic liquids change when mixed with different concentrations of gabapentin at a specific temperature.
- The findings show that as gabapentin concentration and the length of the alkyl chain increase, surface tension decreases, indicating stronger interactions.
- Additionally, micellization parameters improve with longer chains, while conductivity decreases at higher gabapentin concentrations due to increased viscosity and ion interactions.

Large amounts of wastewater are produced from semiconductor manufacturing, and the production energy consumption has skyrocketed with its global demand in recent years. Forward osmosis (FO) provides unique merits in reclaiming the wastewater if suitable draw solutes with high water flux, low leakage, and limited energy requirement in regeneration are available. Two lower critical solution temperature-ionic liquids (LCST-ILs), tetrabutylphosphonium trimethylbenzensulfonate ([P][TMBS]) and tetrabutylphosphonium maleate ([P][Mal]) were synthesized and systematically assessed as recycled draw solutes in FO for the water reclamation from the wastewater of Si-ingot sawing.

The cycloaddition of CO to epoxide (CCE) reactions produce valuable cyclic carbonates useful in the electrolytes of lithium-ion batteries, as organic solvents, and in polymeric materials. However, halide-containing catalysts are predominantly used in these reactions, despite halides being notoriously corrosive to steel processing equipment and residual halides also having harmful effects. To eliminate the reliance on halides as cocatalyst in most CCE reactions, halide-free catalysts are highly desirable.

Visual, sensitive, and selective detection of carcinogenic substances is highly desired in portable health protection and practical medicine production. However, achieving this goal presents significant challenges with the traditional single-mode sensors reported so far, as they have limited sensing mechanisms and provide only a single output signal. Here, we report an effective optical and electrical dual-mode sensor for the visual, sensitive, and selective detection of -nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), a typical volatile carcinogenic substance, leveraging the synergy of ionic liquid-doped liquid crystals (IL-LC).

Rubrene is one of the leading organic semiconductors in scientific and industrial research, showing good conductivities and utilities in devices such as organic field-effect transistors. In these applications, the rubrene crystals often contact ionic liquids and other materials. Consequently, their surface properties and interfacial interactions influence the device's performance.
