Summary: A bifunctional ionic liquid has been designed and explored as a catalyst for the synthesis of 2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones. The reaction can be completed in 3.5 minutes using microwave irradiation. In addition, the ionic liquid was used to assist the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to aldehyde without the need for metal catalysts, solvents, and bases. The multifunctionality of the ionic liquid was further confirmed in the synthesis of two Wnt pathway antagonists.

Summary: The positions of hydrophobic and hydrophilic probes in RTILs containing microemulsions were investigated using femtosecond solvation dynamics study, as limitations of TCSPC measurement were observed for detecting relaxation times less than 100 ps. The choice of two different RTILs revealed information about the impact of acyclic and cyclic hydrocarbon chains on solvation dynamics. Exclusive information from DLS measurement, anisotropy study, and FCS helped in performing detailed analysis of these systems.

Summary: Selective ionic load behavior and molecular transfer of a polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) in a biphasic system were investigated using simulations and models. The study found that the PIL can form stable micelles in an aqueous environment and has the ability to selectively separate anionic molecules in a mixture of organic dyes. At high temperatures, the micelles lose stability and transfer to the organic phase. The study contributes to the understanding of selective ionic transfer and micellar shuttle in biphasic systems under temperature effects.

Summary: Selective hydrogenation of aryl ketones to either aryl alcohols or aryl alkanes at room temperature over Pd/C in imidazolium-based ionic liquids by altering the IL anions from [Cl](-) to [BF4](-) is achieved through a hydrogen-bonding-mediated strategy. High selectivity and yields of target products are obtained using [BMIm](+) ILs with [Cl](-) and [BF4](-) anions, indicating promising applications for this simple and efficient catalytic protocol.

Summary: Sulfide compounds show promise as electrocatalysts for water splitting, but their performance is limited by factors such as limited active sites and hindered substance transport. This study successfully prepared a high-entropy sulfide (ZnCoMnFeAlMg)(9)S-8, which reduced grain size and increased specific surface area, enabling the realization of a dual-functional catalyst with multiple catalytic sites. High entropy also modulated the electronic properties of sulfides, reducing the potential energy barrier for hydrolysis. This research introduces a new approach for functionalizing high entropy nanomaterials and improves the performance of water splitting catalysts.
