Summary: Increasing side chain length of the studied ammonium-based polymerized ionic liquids results in lower glass transition temperatures and higher ionic conductivity values. However, the addition of conducting salt to the polymer membranes decreases both the glass transition temperatures and the ionic conductivity values, while higher lithium-ion mobility is observed in samples with higher conducting salt content.

Summary: Choline and GEranic acid (CAGE) ionic liquids have been found to be useful in delivering macromolecules and poorly soluble drugs across epithelial barriers and inhibiting bacterial growth. They denature proteins by disrupting their folding forces and can inhibit elastase and other collagenolytic enzymes. This study investigated the inhibitory effects of CAGE with different stoichiometries on elastase and the growth of pathogenic oral bacteria. The results showed that CAGE could inhibit elastase and effectively suppress the growth of all tested bacteria. This inhibition of elastase may contribute to the improved outcomes in periodontitis treatment by CAGE, independent of its antibacterial properties.

Summary: A 1,2-hydroxypyridinone (HOPO) grafted ionic liquid (HOPO-IL) was synthesized and investigated for its extraction performance in various ionic liquids (ILs) and organic solvents. The results showed that the extraction performance of this HOPO-IL extractant was enhanced by approximately 2 folds in IL solvents compared to organic solvents. The study also revealed a strong pH dependence and a dominant cation-exchange mechanism of lanthanide extraction.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the conversion of carbohydrates (glucose, xylose, fructose) to furan aldehydes is significantly influenced by the structural parameters of the ionic liquid catalyst and the presence of a Bronsted acid co-catalyst. The synergistic effect of acidic IL and Bronsted acid plays a crucial role in enhancing the selectivity and efficiency of the conversion process.

Summary: Ionic liquids are liquids composed of ions with melting points lower than 100 degrees C. They are customizable solvents for a variety of reactions, and recent advancements have made them excellent candidates as phase transfer catalysts. Phase transfer catalysis allows insoluble reactants to transfer to the desired phase, and the fine-tuning capability of ionic liquids epitomizes the sustainability of this field. This report presents a comprehensive overview of their applications from the late 20th century to present.

Summary: This study describes the synthesis, polymerization, and ion exchange of 1-butyl-2,3-dimethyl-4-vinylimidazolium triflate to produce a series of 1-butyl-2,3-dimethyl-4-vinylimidazolium polymers. Regardless of the anion's nature, substitution at the 2-position of the imidazolium moiety significantly increases the distance between the anion and cation.

Summary: In recent years, taste and odor (T&O) compounds in drinking water have become a serious problem, leading to challenges in drinking water treatment plants. Researchers have proposed various abiotic and biotic methods to ensure the quality of drinking water by removing T&O compounds. This review paper summarizes the process parameters, advantages and disadvantages, removal efficiency, and mechanism of these methods. It also provides a summary of the possible degradation pathways for geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), the most common odorous substances in drinking water. Furthermore, suggestions and approaches are given for efficient and safe strategies in treating T&O compounds and their future applications.
