Usage

General Description

N-octyl-3-methylpyridinium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt with the chemical formula C14H28ClN. It is a surfactant and antimicrobial agent commonly used in a variety of industrial and household products such as disinfectants, antiseptics, and preservatives. This chemical is known for its ability to disrupt and destabilize the cell membranes of microorganisms, making it effective at killing bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It is also used in some pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, such as in the development of drug delivery systems and antimicrobial coatings. However, due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, the use and disposal of N-octyl-3-methylpyridinium chloride should be carefully regulated and monitored.

Densities and viscosities of imidazolium and pyridinium chloroaluminate ionic liquids

The chloroaluminate ionic liquids are used in various types of reactions. However, due to their particular vulnerability on water, their physical properties have not been previously investigated very extensively. The densities and viscosities of series imidazolium and pyridinium chloroaluminate ionic liquids having alkyl (butyl, hexyl, octyl) or aralkyl (benzyl, ethylphenyl) chain at the cation, various effective molar fraction of AlCl3 (χAlCl3 = 0.5, 0.65, 0.7), as well as they mixture and mixture with common organic solvents (hexane, toluene) were measured at the temperature range 293.15-343.15 K (20-70 °C). Densities, and particularly viscosities decrease with the increase of temperature. The density decreases with the increase of the length of the alkyl chain. The type of cation also influences the density, however, the order is different than for non-haloaluminate ionic liquids and depends on the alkyl chain length. Viscosity increases with increasing alkyl chain length, but it is not a linear trend. The ionic liquid with meta position of the alkyl chain is considerably more dense and more viscous than para isomer. The presence of aromatic phenyl ring at the side chain of the cation increases both density and viscosity. Higher effective molar fraction of AlCl3 increases density and decreases viscosity, however, for the imidazolium ionic liquid the change of viscosity diminishes at higher temperatures. Organic solvents decrease both density and viscosity of the ionic liquids, but aliphatic hexane imposes much smaller effect than aromatic toluene. The mixture of two ionic liquids has density and viscosity between those for constituents. This extends the application of the aralkyl ionic liquids over temperatures, in which they are in solid state.

Synthesis and dissolving power of 1-Alkyl-3-methylpyridinium-based ionic liquids

1-Alkyl-3-methylpyridinium-based ionic liquids with substituents from C2 to C10 and anions Cl- and Br- were synthesized, and their dissolving power toward the cellulose was investigated. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of molecules of ionic liquids are presented.
