The interaction between the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (EMIMBr) and the macrocyclic compound p-tert-buthylthiacalix[4]arene (TC4) in solution ethanol/water 3/1 V/V was investigated by spectrophotometry and spectrofluorimetry. The UV-Vis spectra of the system (EMIMBr + TC4) were completely additive. The addition of EMIMBr decreases the fluorescence of the TC4 significantly, excited at 325.0 nm. The Stern-Volmer quenching constants were determined at different temperatures (15.0, 25.0, and 35.0 °C), and the obtained values were the same, with an average value of K = (3.8 ± 0.9) 10 M for the quenching constant. No changes in the emission spectra of TC4 were obtained by the addition of inorganic salts, such as NaCl, KBr, NHCl, and NHPF or the organic compound N-methylimidazole (NMI). More evidence of EMIMBr-TC4 interaction was found with the determination of the fluorescence lifetime and the anisotropy of the mixture. Also, the slope of the quenching plot was the analytical sensitivity of calibration for EMIMBr using TC4 as an indirect sensor, and a LOD = (26 ± 2) μM was obtained.

Reproductive toxicities of imidazolium- ([EMIM]X) and pyridinium-based ([APYR]X) ionic liquids (ILs) are essential to fully assess their hazards. Presently, effects of five ILs on the intricate processes of reproduction, including sperm-oocyte interactions, were explored in Caenorhabditis elegans. Results showed that 1-ethylpyridinium bromide ([EPYR]Br) stimulated oocytes, zygotes and total reproduction.

Strategic engineering of cationic systems for spatial & temporal anti-counterfeiting applications in zero-dimensional Mn(II) halides.

While spatial and time-resolved anti-counterfeiting technologies have gained increasing attention owing to their excellent tunable photoluminescence, achieving high-security-level anti-counterfeiting remains a challenge. Herein, we developed a spatial-time-dual-resolved anti-counterfeiting system using zero-dimensional (0D) organic-inorganic Mn(II) metal halides: (EMMZ)MnBr (named M-1, EMMZ=1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Bromide) and (EDMMZ)MnBr (named M-2, EDMMZ=1-Ethyl-2,3-Dimethylimidazolium Bromide). M-1 shows a bright green emission with a quantum yield of 78 %.

Over the past three decades, the synthesis of new ionic liquids (ILs) and the expansion of their use in newer applications have grown exponentially. From the beginning of this vertiginous period, it was known that many of them were hygroscopic, which in some cases limited their use or altered the value of their measured physical properties with all the problems that this entails. In an earlier article, we addressed the hygroscopic grade achieved by the ILs 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate, 1-ethyl-3-methylpyridinium ethyl sulfate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide, 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide, and methyl trioctyl ammonium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide.

Photocured room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials hold great potential for practical applications but are scarcely reported. Here, we develop photocured RTP materials (P-Lig) using a combination of lignosulfonate, acrylamide, and ionic liquid (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide). With this design, lignosulfonate simultaneously serves as RTP chromophore and photoinitiator.
