Probing the electronic structure of ether functionalised ionic liquids using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (2019)
Journal Article
Dick, E., Fouda, A., Besley, N. A., & Licence, P. (2020). Probing the electronic structure of ether functionalised ionic liquids using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 22(3), 1624-1631. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9cp01297d

The charge distribution associated with individual components in functionalised ionic liquids (ILs) can be tuned by careful manipulation of the substituent groups incorporated into the ions. Here we use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to investigate... Read More about Probing the electronic structure of ether functionalised ionic liquids using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

In vitro cytotoxicity assessment of monocationic and dicationic pyridinium-based ionic liquids on HeLa, MCF-7, BGM and EA.hy926 cell lines (2019)
Journal Article
Perez, S., Montalbán, M., Carissimi, G., Licence, P., & Villora, G. (2020). In vitro cytotoxicity assessment of monocationic and dicationic pyridinium-based ionic liquids on HeLa, MCF-7, BGM and EA.hy926 cell lines. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 385, Article 121513. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.121513

Dicationic ionic liquids (ILs) generally possess higher thermal and electrochemical stability than the analogous monocationic ILs, which makes them more suitable for high-temperature applications as solvents for organic reactions, lubricants or stati...

In Situ Sulfidation of Pd/C: A Straightforward Method for Chemoselective Conjugate Reduction by Continuous Hydrogenation (2019)
Journal Article
Moore, J. C., Howie, R. A., Bourne, S. L., Jenkins, G. N., Licence, P., Poliakoff, M., & George, M. W. (2019). In Situ Sulfidation of Pd/C: A Straightforward Method for Chemoselective Conjugate Reduction by Continuous Hydrogenation. ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, 7(19), 16814-16819. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.9b04347

A method has been developed for the in situ sulfidation of Pd/C under continuous flow. The approach provides a cheap, sustainable, and operationally convenient method for chemoselective conjugate reduction by continuous hydrogenation. High conversio...

Tuning the Reactivity of TEMPO during Electrocatalytic Alcohol Oxidations in Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids (2019)
Journal Article
Delorme, A. E., Sans, V., Licence, P., & Walsh, D. A. (2019). Tuning the Reactivity of TEMPO during Electrocatalytic Alcohol Oxidations in Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids. ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, 7(13), 11691-11699. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.9b01823

2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) is a promising, sustainable, metal-free mediator for oxidation of alcohols. In this contribution, we describe how the selectivity of TEMPO for electrocatalytic alcohol oxidations in room-temperature ionic...
