Journal ArticleDOI
Broensted superacidity of hydrochloric acid in a liquid chloroaluminate. Aluminum chloride - 1-ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazolium chloride (55.O m/o AlCl3)
TL;DR: In this paper, a new procedure for the preparation of EMIC was developed that yields exceptionally clean AlCl{sub 3}-EMIC melts with very low concentrations of protic and oxidizing impurities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrastable superbase-derived protic ionic liquids.
TL;DR: A new class of protic ionic liquids, derived via integrated neutralization and metathesis of superbasic phosphazenes or guanidines, exhibits exceptionally low vapor pressures at 150 degrees C while being stable to strong alkali agents such as aqueous KOH, suggesting potential in energy-related applications, including electrochemical capacitors and PEM-type fuel cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brønsted Acids in Ionic Liquids: Fundamentals, Organic Reactions, and Comparisons
TL;DR: In this paper, a background for studying acids in various solvents is developed, emphasizing the importance of knowing to what extent a solvent conducts electricity and is therefore ionized, the dissociation equilibria of common molecular Solvents and the acidic and basic species generated by solvent leveling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear and nonlinear circular dichroism of R-(+)-3-methylcyclopentanone.
TL;DR: Linear and nonlinear circular dichroism of R-(+)-3-methylcyclopentanone (R-3MCP) is reported in the gas and liquid phases and the CD for 3MCP in cyclohexane is found to be strongly temperature dependent as a result of the presence of both the axial and equatorial conformers.
