Conductive films based on composite polymers containing ionic liquids absorbed on crosslinked polymeric ionic-like liquids (SILLPs)

Polymerization of styrenic monomers containing imidazolium subunits in the presence of crosslinking monomers and using ionic liquids (ILs) as porogenic agents provides composite materials with excellent mechanical properties and displaying conductivities that are in the same order of magnitude than those shown by bulk ILs. This approach allows the use of high crosslinking degrees and low IL-loadings without compromising the required properties of the resulting composites. Besides, no appreciable leaching of the bulk IL component is detected.Financial support by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (CTQ2011-28903-C02-01 and SP-ENE-20120718), Generalitat Valenciana (PROMETEO/2012/020) and Universitat Jaume I (P11B2013-38) is acknowledged.Altava Benito, B.; Compañ Moreno, V.; Andrio Balado, A.; Del Castillo Davila, LF.; Mollá Romano, S.; Burguete, MI.; García-Verdugo Cepeda, E....

Application of optically active chiral bis(imidazolium) salts as potential receptors of chiral dicarboxylate salts of biological relevance

<p>A family of chiral bis(imidazolium) salts derived from natural amino acids has been synthesized by a simple synthetic approach and the corresponding bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide salts have been shown to be room temperature chiral ionic liquids (RTCILs). The structures and self-assembling properties of the resulting salts have been studied by ¹HNMR, ATR-FTIR, DSC, SEM and theoretical calculations. Moreover, these receptors have been applied to the enantiomeric recognition of dicarboxylic amino acids. The supramolecular complexes formed have been studied by ¹HNMR titration experiments, ATR-FTIR and DSC.</p
