Ionic liquids: Syntheses, characterization and applications in analytical chemistry
by Sharma, Pritesh S., M.S., THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON, 2008, 107 pages; 1453427

Abstract:

Multifunctional ionic liquids (esp. dicationic and dianionic) have been shown to have a greater range of physical properties than most traditional, singly charged ILs. In this work, 28 novel tricationic ILs with specific structural variations have been synthesized in order to investigate the effect on their physicochemical properties. It was observed that the physicochemical properties can be varied to a greater extent in tricationic ILs than in traditional ILs. The central core of the tricationic IL itself can have different degrees of flexibility and these moieties can be altered as can the charge carrying groups to produce ILs with the desired physicochemical properties. These ILs have a greater range of viscosities and higher thermal stabilities than typical imidazolium based singly charged ionic liquids. Anion effects are also prominent with these highly tunable ionic liquids.

About ProQuest Dissertations & Theses
With over 2.3 million records, the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) database is the most comprehensive collection of dissertations and theses in the world. It is the database of record for graduate research.

The database includes citations of graduate works ranging from the first U.S. dissertation, accepted in 1861, to those accepted as recently as last semester. Of the 2.3 million graduate works included in the database, ProQuest offers more than 1.9 million in full text formats. Of those, over 860,000 are available in PDF format. More than 60,000 dissertations and theses are added to the database each year.
