Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations of solvent–solute interactions in room temperature ionic liquids using solvatochromic dyes
TL;DR: In this article, different measures of polarity and nucleophilicity of a range of ionic liquids have been investigated using two solvatochromic dyes; the polarity appears to be largely cation controlled, while the donor strength is entirely anion dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of anion and cation substitution on the ultrafast solvent dynamics of ionic liquids: A time-resolved optical Kerr-effect spectroscopic study
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cation and anion substitution on the low frequency librational modes were investigated by optical heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (OHD-RIKES).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic liquids: polar, but weakly coordinating solvents for the first biphasic oligomerisation of ethene to higher α-olefins with cationic Ni complexes
TL;DR: In this article, the turnover frequencies of alk-1-ene products were correlated with polarity data obtained using solvatochromic dyes, and they were shown to have better reactivity and selectivity than in conventional solvents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of super selective polysulfone hollow fiber membranes for gas separation
TL;DR: In this paper, hollow fiber membranes were manufactured using a dry/wet spinning process with forced convection in the dry gap and two different bore coagulants: pure water and one with reduced water activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bimolecular rate constants for diffusion in ionic liquids.
TL;DR: The temperature dependence of bimolecular rate constants for a diffusion controlled reaction involving neutral reactants have been directly determined in five commonly used ionic liquids over the temperature range 5 −70 °C.
