An imidazolium based iron-containing ionic liquid [BMIm][Fe(NO)2Cl2] (BMIm = 1-n-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium) has been synthesized for the first time and fully characterized employing a wide range of techniques. The iron-based containing ionic liquid...

UN sustainable development goals: How can sustainable/green chemistry contribute? By doing things differently (2018)
Journal Article
Poliakoff, M., Licence, P., & George, M. W. (2018). UN sustainable development goals: How can sustainable/green chemistry contribute? By doing things differently. Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, 13, 146-149. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogsc.2018.04.011

Until now, much Green and Sustainable Chemistry has been focused on how chemicals are made. Here we suggest that, if chemistry is to contribute effectively to achieving the SDGs, we need to change the way that things are done at both ends of the chem...

Effect of dicationic ionic liquids on lyotropic liquid crystals formed by a binary system composed of Triton-X 100 and water (2018)
Journal Article
Thieghi, L. T., Longo Jr, L. S., Licence, P., & Alves, S. (in press). Effect of dicationic ionic liquids on lyotropic liquid crystals formed by a binary system composed of Triton-X 100 and water. Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 657(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/15421406.2017.1403241

In this work, binary mixtures of a non-ionic surfactant (Triton X-100) and water were studied with concentrations of 30%wt H2O, showing, lamellar mesophase at temperatures below 10oC. Different dicationic ionic liquids were used for doping these meso...
