Novel tetracarboxyl-functionalized 2,2′-biimidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with different anions were synthesized in two steps from readily available and sustainable starting materials including ammonium acetate, glyoxal, and halogenated propionic acid. The functionalized IL exhibited higher catalytic activity towards the cycloaddition of CO2 to terminal epoxides. With propylene oxide as a substrate, the optimum yield of propylene carbonate reached 82.7 % at an initial CO2 pressure of 2.0 MPa for 4 h at 140°C. Moreover, the functionalized IL catalyst displayed a high stability and can be reused for at least five cycles without obvious loss of catalytic activity. The results provide a simple and economical way to synthesize multi-functionalized imidazolium-based ILs with versatile potential applications.

An ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydroxide ([Bmim]OH) was grafted on silica gel by post-grafting method. Such grafted ionic liquids (GILs) which were verified by means of FTIR, element analysis N2adsorption-desorption and TG could be used as highly effective heterogeneous catalysts toward propylene carbonate synthesis through cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with propylene oxide under solventless and mild conditions.

Aluminum and its alloys are used in an increasing number of applications but the development of surface coatings and new techniques for corrosion resistance enhancement and for increasing wear resistance will be determinant for applications under aggressive environments. Ionic liquids have already found many industrial applications, including their use in surface protection. The present article will focus on the use of ionic liquids in aluminum and its alloys surface protection applications, including corrosion protection and inhibition, anodization and passivation processes, wear resistance, and potential applications of ionic liquid electrolytes in energy storage devices.

The present work intends to provide a brief account of the most recent advances in the use of ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) in the field of tribology, that is, the development of new lubricants with the ability to reduce the coefficients of friction and the wear rates of materials under sliding conditions. After a definition of ILCs and their relationship with neutral liquid crystals (LCs) and ionic liquids (ILs), the review will be focused on the influence of molecular structure and composition on the tribological performance, the combination with base oils, surfactants or water, and the different sliding configuration and potential applications. The main mechanisms proposed in order to justify the lubricating ability of ILCs will be analyzed. Special emphasis will be made for recent results obtained for fatty acid derivatives due to their renewable and environmentally friendly nature.

An ionic liquid 1- (triethoxysilyl) propyl-3-methylimidazolium hydroxide ([Smim]OH) was grafted on three kinds of mesoporous hydrophobic silica gel by means of post-grafting under mild conditions. The catalysts were [Smim]OH/SiO2-MTES (methyltriethoxysilane), [Smim]OH/SiO2-TMCS (trimethylchlorosilane), [Smim]OH/SiO2-CPTEO (triethoxysilyl propyl chloride). Such grafted ionic liquids (GILs), which were characterized by means of FTIR and N2 adsorption-desorption could be used as effective heterogeneous catalysts toward propylene carbonate synthesis through cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with propylene oxide under solventless and mild conditions.

A study of catalytic activity of μ-nitrido- and μ-oxo-dimeric iron tetrasulfophthalocyanines in the oxidation of Orange II by tert-butylhydroperoxide in aqueous solutions has been performed. It is shown that though in one catalytic cycle activity of μ-oxo-dimer is higher, stability of this complex in oxidative conditions is poor. μ-nitrido-dimer combines relatively good catalytic activity with very high stability in the presence of tert-butylhydroperoxide. The mechanisms of oxidative decomposition of dimers and catalytic oxidation of Orange II have been proposed on the base of kinetic results. The products of catalytic processes are shown to be bio-degradable non-toxic small organic compounds.
