T1  - Metal sulfide nanoparticle synthesis with ionic liquids state of the art and future perspectives
JF  - ChemistryOpen
N2  - Metal sulfides are among the most promising materials for a wide variety of technologically relevant applications ranging from energy to environment and beyond. Incidentally, ionic liquids (ILs) have been among the top research subjects for the same applications and also for inorganic materials synthesis. As a result, the exploitation of the peculiar properties of ILs for metal sulfide synthesis could provide attractive new avenues for the generation of new, highly specific metal sulfides for numerous applications. This article therefore describes current developments in metal sulfide nano-particle synthesis as exemplified by a number of highlight examples. Moreover, the article demonstrates how ILs have been used in metal sulfide synthesis and discusses the benefits of using ILs over more traditional approaches. Finally, the article demonstrates some technological challenges and how ILs could be used to further advance the production and specific property engineering of metal sulfide nanomaterials, again based on a number of selected examples.

T1  - N-Butyl Pyridinium Diiodido Argentate(I)
BT  - A One-Dimensional Ag-I Network with Superior Solid-State Ionic Conductivity at Room Temperature
JF  - Advanced materials interfaces
N2  - A new solid-state material, N-butyl pyridinium diiodido argentate(I), is synthesized using a simple and effective one-pot approach. In the solid state, the compound exhibits 1D ([AgI2](-))(n) chains that are stabilized by the N-butyl pyridinium cation. The 1D structure is further manifested by the formation of long, needle-like crystals, as revealed from electron microscopy. As the general composition is derived from metal halide-based ionic liquids, the compound has a low melting point of 100-101 degrees C, as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry. Most importantly, the compound has a conductivity of 10(-6) S cm(-1) at room temperature. At higher temperatures the conductivity increases and reaches to 10(-4 )S cm(-1) at 70 degrees C. In contrast to AgI, however, the current material has a highly anisotropic 1D arrangement of the ionic domains. This provides direct and tuneable access to fast and anisotropic ionic conduction. The material is thus a significant step forward beyond current ion conductors and a highly promising prototype for the rational design of highly conductive ionic solid-state conductors for battery or solar cell applications.

T1  - Alkylpyridinium Tetrahalidometallate Ionic Liquids and Ionic Liquid Crystals: Insights into the Origin of Their Phase Behavior
JF  - European journal of inorganic chemistry : a journal of ChemPubSoc Europe
N2  - Six N-alkylpyridinium salts [CnPy](2)[MCl4] (n = 4 or 12 and M = Co, Cu, Zn) were synthesized, and their structure and thermal properties were studied. The [C4Py](2)[MCl4] compounds are monoclinic and crystallize in the space group P2(1)/n. The crystals of the longer chain analogues [C12Py](2)[MCl4] are triclinic and crystallize in the space group P (1) over bar. Above the melting temperature, all compounds are ionic liquids (ILs). The derivatives with the longer C12 chain exhibit liquid crystallinity and the shorter chain compounds only show a melting transition. Consistent with single-crystal analysis, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy suggests that the [CuCl4](2-) ions in the Cu-based ILs have a distorted tetrahedral geometry.

T1  - Interactions between ionic liquids and radicals
JF  - Journal of molecular liquids
N2  - Ionic liquids were investigated with both stable radicals on the basis of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yloxyl (TEMPO) and photogenerated lophyl radicals. The ionic liquids are composed either of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (NTf2) as anion and various cations or they contain an imidazolium ion in combination with various anions. The cations include imidazolium, pyrrolidinium, piperidinium, polymethine or ammonium ions. Furthermore, BF4-, PF6-, triflate, camphorsulfonate, lactate, tosylate or tris(pentafluoroethyl) trifluorophosphate (FAP) are the counter ions in the imidazolium salts. The structural variation of the ionic liquids results in differences in glass formation, semiaystallinity, or crystallinity, as well as in viscosity differences. Furthermore, a vinyl substituent at the imidazolium ion and a methacryloyloxyethyl substituent at the ammonium ion result in polymerizable ionic liquids that were converted via a radical mechanism in amorphous polymerized ionic liquids with a glass transition temperature, which is significantly higher compared to the ionic liquids. An additional substituent at TEMPO causes additional hydrogen bond formation or additional Coulomb interactions with the individual ions of the ionic liquids compared to TEMPO. This influences the mobility of these radicals in the ionic liquid expressed by differences in the average rotational correlation time (T-rot). The mobility of the radicals in the ionic liquids as function of the temperature describes ionic liquids either as continuum in analogy to molecular solvents using the Stokes-Einstein model, that is the case for 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium NTf2, or as medium where free volume effects are important for the mobility of a solute in the ionic liquid using the model of Spernol, Gierer, and Wirtz. The 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium BF4- fits well into the latter. Furthermore, the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant (A(iso)(N-14)) of the stable radicals gives information about micropolarity of the ionic liquids only if the mobility of the radical is high enough in the ionic liquid. In addition to the rotational mobility of the stable radicals, the photogenerated lophyl radicals give information about translational diffusion of radicals and solvent cage effects in the ionic liquids. The application of the Eyring equation results mostly in the expected negative values of the activation entropy for the transition state that is typical for bimolecular reactions. Only few examples show a less negative or positive activation entropy for the bimolecular reaction, which may be attributed to radical recombination within the solvent cage to a high extent. The results obtained during investigation of radicals in ionic liquids are important to understand the radical processes in ionic liquids that may occur for example in dye sensitized solar cells, photo or thermally induced reactions or radical polymerizations in ionic liquids.

T1  - New spin probes starting from 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yloxyl
JF  - Tetrahedron letters
N2  - This Letter describes four new 4-trimethylammonio-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yloxyls bearing camphorsulfonate, triflate, tosylate, or lactate as counter ions. These spin probes were made by anion metathesis of 4-trimethylammonio-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yloxyl iodide using the corresponding silver salts. The latter is made by the alkylation of 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yloxyl. Furthermore, the Letter gives an improved synthetic way to 4-sulfonamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yloxyl using chlorosulfuric acid trimethylsilylester and 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yloxyl. All the spin probes are highly interesting for the investigation of ionic liquids.

T1  - Magnetic ionogels (MagIGs) based on iron oxide nanoparticles, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), and the ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium dicyanamide
JF  - European journal of inorganic chemistry : a journal of ChemPubSoc Europe
N2  - Magnetic ionogels (MagIGs) were prepared from organosilane-coated iron oxide nanoparticles, N-isopropylacrylamide, and the ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium dicyanamide. The ionogels prepared with the silane-modified nanoparticles are more homogeneous than ionogels prepared with unmodified magnetite particles. The silane-modified particles are immobilized in the ionogel and are resistant tonanoparticle leaching. The modified particles also render the ionogels mechanically more stable than the ionogels synthesized with unmodified nanoparticles. The ionogels respond to external permanent magnets and are therefore prototypes of a new soft magnetic actuator.
