Non-halogenated boron-based ionic liquids (ILs) composed of phosphonium cations and chelated orthoborate anions have high hydrolytic stability, low melting point and exceptional properties for various applications. This study is focused on ILs with the same type of cation, trihexyltetradecylphosphonium ([P]), and two orthoborate anions, such as bis(salicylato)borate ([BScB]) and bis(oxalato)borate ([BOB]). We compare the results of this study with our previous studies on ILs with bis(mandelato)borate ([BMB]) and a variety of different cations (tetraalkylphosphonium, dialkylpyrrolidinium and dialkylimidazolium). The ion dynamics and phase behavior of these ILs is studied using H and B pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) NMR. PFG NMR is demonstrated to be a useful tool to elucidate the dynamics of ions in this class of phosphonium orthoborate ILs. In particular, the applicability of B PFG NMR for studying anions without H, such as [BOB], and the limitations of this technique to measure self-diffusion of ions in ILs are demonstrated and discussed in detail for the first time.

A range of protic ionic liquids (PILs) based on tri-n-alkylammonium cations and mesylate/triflate anions were incorporated into a polymer matrix to form ionogels (IGs). These systems were investigated for their thermal and electrochemical behaviour, as well as under the aspect of ion motion via PFG-NMR. The ionic conductivities of the ILs/IGs are in the range of 10-10 S/cm at elevated temperatures and the diffusion coefficients are around 10 m s.

Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are regarded as a promising alternative to conventional electrolytes, combining the advantages of solid and liquid electrolytes. Leveraging the abundance and eco-friendliness of cellulose-based materials, GPEs were produced using methyl cellulose and incorporating various doping agents, either an ionic liquid (1-Butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [Pyr14][TFSI]), its polymeric ionic liquid analogue (Poly(diallyldimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) [PDADMA][TFSI]), or an anionically charged backbone polymeric ionic liquid (lithium poly[(4-styrenesulfonyl)(trifluoromethyl(S-trifluoromethylsulfonylimino) sulfonyl) imide] LiP[STFSI]). The ion dynamics and molecular interactions within the GPEs were thoroughly analyzed using Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Heteronuclear Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy (HOESY), and Pulsed-Field Gradient Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Diffusion (PFG-NMR).

The measurement of ion diffusivity inside nanoporous materials by Pulsed-Field Gradient (PFG) NMR is not an easy task due to enhanced NMR relaxation. Here, we employed multinuclear (H, P, and Li) NMR spectrometry and diffusometry to probe ion dynamics of a fluorine-free battery electrolyte comprising the [P][MEEA] ionic liquid (IL) and LiMEEA salt in a 7 : 3 molar ratio, confined in three different nanoporous SiO glasses with pore diameters of 3.7, 7 and 98 nm.

Measuring the compaction of a protein or complex is key to our understanding of the interactions within and between biomolecules. Experimentally, protein compaction is often probed either by estimating the radius of gyration (R) obtained from small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments or the hydrodynamic radius (R) obtained, for example, by pulsed field gradient NMR (PFG NMR) spectroscopy. PFG NMR experiments generally report on the translational diffusion coefficient, which in turn can be used to estimate R using an internal standard to account for sample viscosity and uncertainty about the gradient strength.

Article Synopsis
- Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed too late, with over 70% of cases at an advanced stage, leading to poor outcomes; MRI is the best preoperative assessment tool, while cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment.
- A new technique uses nanoparticles (HA@PFG NPs) made from a cisplatin prodrug (Pt-COOH), iron, and natural polyphenols (Gossypol) to enhance drug delivery and release at tumor sites, allowing for controlled drug release and effective treatment.
- Experimental results show that HA@PFG NPs can reduce tumor activity in a patient-derived model and work through specific signaling pathways, suggesting a promising integrated approach of MRI and
