A new type of highly temperature stable ionic liquid (IL) with strongly temperature dependent nanostructures is reported. The molecular design relies on the use of a liquid polymer with an ionic liquid headgroup, introducing liquid properties by both the polymeric and the ionic liquid (IL) headgroup. The IL polymers (poly(isobutylene)s) 3a-3c (PIB-ILs) were prepared by a combination of living carbocationic polymerization (LCCP) and subsequent "click" chemistry for attachment of methylimidazolium (3a), pyrrolidinium (3b), and triethylammonium cations (3c). All three investigated PIB-ILs exhibited pronounced nanostructural organization at room temperature depending strongly on the nature of the anchored cation. Whereas the morphology of the imidazolium-based PIB-IL 3a shows high thermal stability up to the decomposition temperature, order-order (OOT) and lattice disorder-order transitions (LDOT) characteristic for common ionomers could be observed in the case of pyrrolidinium 3b and ammonium-based 3c PIB-ILs. Control of flow behavior as well as adjustable relaxation times from the liquid to the viscoelastic regime can be adjusted by choice of the appropriate IL headgroup.

A zwitterionic ligand 3-(triethylammonio)propyne (TAP) has been employed to construct nine silver ethynide compounds for the first time. Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal that compounds 1 and 2 are silver ethynide assemblies based on the Ag3 subunits and clusters 3-8 are small discrete clusters of Ag3, Ag6, Ag8, and Ag12, respectively, ligated by the bulky TAP ligand with different auxiliary ligands. In addition, upon acquiring the tripod-like tBuPO32-, a unprecedented 80 nuclei silver ethynide cluster was isolated and determined to be [(CF3CO2)5@Ag80(TAP)14(tBuPO3)16(CF3CO2)24]19+ by crystallography and thermogravimetric analysis. The C1 symmetry of Ag80 was deconstructed to be two [Ag40(TAP)7(tBuPO3)8(CF3CO2)12]12+ secondary building subunits arranged in a cross way, with five CF3CO2- trapped in the center. These results highlight that the elaborate selection of ethynide ligands is of great importance in the synthesis of novel silver ethynide clusters.

Endosomal escape is one of the barriers for the efficient liposomal gene delivery. To address this and based on earlier encouraging results using tocopherol cationic lipids, we elaborated chemical modifications on tocopherol cationic lipids by introducing a novel hybrid pH sensitive linker "ether-β-hydroxy-triazole" between tocopherol, the anchoring moiety and the basic tris(2-hydroxy ethyl)quaternary ammonium head group (Lp2). As control lipids we designed two lipids (Lp1 and Lp3), one is with only the ether-β-hydroxy linker in between α-tocopherol and quaternary tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium (Lp1) and the other is with the same novel hybrid linker i.e. "ether-β-hydroxy-triazole" between the α-tocopherol linked and quaternary tris-ethyl ammonium head group (Lp3). Liposomes were formulated with a combination of a well-known co-lipid, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) and biophysical characteristics such as DNA binding, hydrodynamic diameters and global surface charges for liposomes and lipoplexes of respective lipids were evaluated. Cell viability assay and in vitro transfection studies were carried out in NIH3 T3, B16F10, HEK-293, and HepG2 cell lines. In vitro transfection data for the liposomes of lipids (Lp1, Lp2 and Lp3) revealed that the Lp2 lipid with a novel hybrid pH sensitive linker showed superior transfection efficiency when compared with the remaining two analogues. More importantly, Lp2 has shown a similar pattern of transfection efficiency in HepG2 and HEK-293 cell lines when compared with commercially available Lipofectamine 3000.
