Several mixtures of butyl acetate (BA) and an ionic liquid (1-methyl-3-octylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [CCPyrro][NTf], 1-octyl-pyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [CPyr][NTf], 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [CCIm][NTf] or 1-octyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [CCIm][NTf]) have been characterized by measuring density, viscosity and conductivity, from pure BA to pure ILs at 298.15 K. The ionicity of these mixtures has been determined on the basis of electrical conductivity and NMR spectroscopy. IR spectra of these mixtures were used to examine the interactions between ions. In parallel, Pt(iv) was extracted from the acidic aqueous phase towards mixtures of BA and [CCIm][NTf] over the entire composition range. A drastic modification in the distribution coefficient of Pt(iv) was observed at ca x = 0.8. A drop was also observed in the ionicity of the extracting phase (IL + BA) at a similar composition. The variation of the distribution coefficient is ascribed to changes in the interactions in the mixtures, which in turn could induce changes in the extraction mechanism.

There is increasing interest in studying molecular motions in ionic liquids to gain better insights into their transport properties and to expand their applications. In this study, we have employed the fast field cycling relaxometry and pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to investigate the rotational and translational dynamics of fluorinated imide-based ionic liquids (ILs) at different temperatures. We have studied a total of six ILs composed of the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation ([BMIM]) combined with chemically modified analogs of the bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)imide anion ([NTf] or [TFSI]).

-Methylation of amines is of great interest in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and valuable compounds, and the possibility to perform this reaction with an inexpensive and non-toxic substrate like CO and its derivatives is quite appealing. Herein, the synthesis of four novel homoleptic Cu(II) complexes with hybrid NHC-phenolate (NHC = -Heterocyclic Carbene) ligands is reported, and their use in the catalytic -methylation of amines with CO in the presence of hydrosilanes is explored. Both bidentate or tetradentate ligands can be used in the preparation of the complexes provided that the structural requirement that the two NHC and the two phenolate donors in the metal coordination sphere are mutually in is fulfilled.

Studies on the ion-layer formation of imidazolium-based ionic liquids have extensively explored how to improve in-depth knowledge of electrical double-layer (EDL) properties. In this computational study, 1-alkyl-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Cmim][NTf]), namely, [Cmim][NTf] and [Cmim][NTf], inside a simulated supercapacitor were investigated to expose an symmetric alkyl chain effect. Molecular dynamic simulations of a supercapacitor model with graphite electrodes were conducted.

The molar heat capacity of 1,4-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)butane bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide dicationic ionic compound ([C(MIm)][NTf]) has been studied over the temperature range from 6 to 350 K by adiabatic calorimetry. In the above temperature interval, this compound has been found to form crystal, liquid, and supercooled liquid. For [C(MIm)][NTf], the temperature of fusion ° = (337.

When in contact with charged solid surfaces, ionic liquids (ILs) are known to form solvation structures consisting of alternating cation and anion layers. This phenomenon is considered to originate from the adsorption layer of counterions overcompensating the surface charge, so-called overscreening. However, the response of these layers to surfaces with near-zero or extremely high surface charge density (σ) remains inadequately understood.
