Carbohydrates, which are ubiquitously distributed throughout the three domains of life, play
significant roles in a variety of vital biological processes. Access to unique and …

Ionic liquids have emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative to the volatile organic
solvents. Being designer solvents, they can be modulated to suit the reaction conditions …

In homogeneous catalysis, the main emphasis on improving catalyst performance (rate,
yield and selectivity) is directed towards manipulation of the ligands. The steric and …

The covalent tethering of a functional group to one or both of the ions of an otherwise
ordinary ionic liquid can imbue the resulting salt with a capacity to interact with dissolved …

The organic nitroxyl radical, TEMPO (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl), finds a variety
of industrial applications for chemical transformations. Because of economic and …

Recent developments in task specifically functionalized imidazolium salts, which can be
used for specific tasks ranging from catalysts recycling, supports for organic synthesis …

Soluble ionic liquids have recently been used as supports for catalyst/reagent
immobilization and synthesis in homogeneous solution phase. The wide range of ionic …

We have prepared two types of one-dimensional ion-conductive polymer films containing
ion nanochannels that are both perpendicular and parallel to the film surface. These films …

We present here a reassessment of our transition-metal free Suzuki-type coupling protocol.
We believe that, although the reaction can be run without the need for addition of a metal …

Ionic liquids (ILs), are considered as eco-friendly solvents due to their low vapor pressure
and non-volatile properties compared to organic solvents and can be employed during …
