Usage

General Description

1-ethyl-2,3-diMethyliMidazoliuM iodide is a chemical compound with sedative and anxiolytic properties. It is a derivative of the benzodiazepine family and is used in medicine as a sedative, hypnotic, and anxiolytic agent. The compound acts by enhancing the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, leading to a calming effect. It is commonly used in clinical settings for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia, as well as for the treatment of anxiety disorders and insomnia. The iodide form of the compound is used in research and laboratory settings for its stability and ease of handling.

Hexahalometallate salts of trivalent scandium, yttrium and lanthanum: Cation-anion association in the solid state and in solution

The hexahalide salts, [NnBu4]3[LaCl6], [BMPYRR]3[LaCl6] (BMPYRR = 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium), [EMIM]3[MX6] (EMIM = 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium; M = La, X = Cl, Br, I; M = Sc, Y, Ce, X = Cl) and [EDMIM]3[MX6] (EDMIM = 1-ethyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium; M = Y, X = Cl; M = La, X = Cl, I) have been prepared and X-ray crystal structures determined for several of them, with a view to probing the effect of varying the trivalent metal ion, the halide and the counter-cation on the structures adopted in the solid state. The crystal structures of the EMIM and EDMIM salts show extensive H-bonding between the halide ligands and organic cations; based upon the H-bonding distances, this appears to be strongest for the [EMIM]3[MCl6] salts, becoming progressively weaker for heavier metal ion or halide. In terms of the cations, changing from EMIM to EDMIM also reduces the strength of the H-bonding. The strength of the cation-anion pairing in solution has also been probed in solution via NMR spectroscopy where possible (45Sc, 89Y and 189La) and, for the EMIM salts, via the shift of δ(H2) relative to [EMIM]Cl at a standard concentration. The trends observed in solution mirror those determined in the solid state.

Ionic liquid containing electron-rich, porous polyphosphazene nanoreactors catalyze the transformation of CO2 to carbonates

We show that ionic liquids (ILs) interact with electron-rich, porous polyphosphazene (PPZ), to form hybrid PPZ-IL nanoreactors able to simultaneously capture and transform CO2 into carbonates. The PPZ nanospheres swell in organic solvents and e

Developments in the Reactivity of 2-Methylimidazolium Salts

Unexpected and unusual reactivity of 2-methylimidazolium salts toward aryl-N-sulfonylimines and aryl aldehydes is here reported. Upon reaction with aryl-N-sulfonylimines, the addition product, arylethyl-2-imidazolium-1-tosylamide (3), is formed with moderate to good yields, while upon reaction with aldehydes, the initial addition product (6) observed in NMR and HPLC-MS experimental analysis is postulated by us as an intermediate to the final conversion to carboxylic acids. Studies in the presence and absence of molecular oxygen allow us to conclude that the imidazolium salts is crucial for the oxidation. A detailed mechanistic study was carried out to provide insights regarding this unexpected reactivity.
