Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), due to their inherent structural tunability, outstanding miscibility behavior, and excellent electrochemical properties, have attracted significant research attention in the biomedical field. As the application of ILs in biomedicine is a rapidly emerging field, there is still a need for systematic analyses and summaries to further advance their development. This review presents a comprehensive survey on the utilization of ILs in the biomedical field. It specifically emphasizes the diverse structures and properties of ILs with their relevance in various biomedical applications. Subsequently, we summarize the mechanisms of ILs as potential drug candidates, exploring their effects on various organisms ranging from cell membranes to organelles, proteins, and nucleic acids. Furthermore, the application of ILs as extractants and catalysts in pharmaceutical engineering is introduced. In addition, we thoroughly review and analyze the applications of ILs in disease diagnosis and delivery systems. By offering an extensive analysis of recent research, our objective is to inspire new ideas and pathways for the design of innovative biomedical technologies based on ILs.

Abstract
The behavior of aqueous solutions of mixtures of ionic liquids (ILs) is of special interest because of their amphiphilic character, from both a fundamental and application viewpoint. In this work, we conducted molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to understand the effect of water on the intermolecular interactions in three IL binary mixtures [C4mim]/[Cl]/[BF4], [C4mim]/[Cl]/[PF6] and [C4mim]/[BF4]/[PF6] containing the well-characterized cation, 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [C4mim]+ and the anions chloride [Cl]-, tetrafluoroborate [BF4]-, and hexafluorophosphate [PF6]-. The perturbation of the structures in the binary IL mixture by water molecules was analyzed in the bulk and at the liquid/vacuum interface using distribution functions, hydrogen-bond statistics, and density profiles. Interactions between anions and cations change drastically when the IL mixtures are dissolved in water. In particular, anion-water interactions are stronger than anion-cation interactions. H-Bonds are the dominant interactions. They are prevalently electrostatic and strong for the two [Cl]-containing systems in both the water-free and the water-containing systems. The very hydrophobic [C4mim]/[BF4]/[PF6] system gains stability from dispersive interactions and consequently segregates water markedly when admixed. The most probable orientations of IL cations in the bulk and at the vicinity of the interface were examined using bivariate distribution calculations and show [PF6]- segregating to the surface in keeping with its highly hydrophobic nature. DFT calculated structures, energies, dipole moments, global hardness and solvation energies using model ion pairs [C4mim][X] or complexes [C4mim]2[X][Y], with [X/Y]- = [Cl]-, [BF4]-, or [PF6]- are completely consistent with the findings for the bulk.

Abstract
As the development of the work (J. Phys. Chem. B 2019, 123 (10), 2362-2372), we have investigated the translational mobility in the same set of dried imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) [bmim]A (A = BF4-, NO3-, TfO-, I-, Br-, and Cl-) in a wide temperature range using the NMR technique. It is shown that for the [bmim]+ cation, the temperature dependencies of product Dη do not follow the Stokes-Einstein relation for most systems studied, that is, the so-called "diffusion-viscosity decoupling" was realized. The correlation between local and translational mobility in pure IL of the [bmim][A] type was investigated using the data on NMR relaxation rates and diffusion coefficients. The most recent hypothesis of "water pockets" in mixtures of IL with water is critically discussed. Considering the totality of data in the literature and obtained here, we propose a specific model of the microstructure which may be applied up to water concentrations of 80-90 mol % (the structure of water-rich solutions is out of our current consideration). To confirm the model, molecular dynamics simulations of "IL-water" mixtures were also carried out.

Abstract
The effect of confining ionic liquids (ILs) such as 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [C2C1Im][BF4] or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [C4C1Im][BF4] in silica matrices was investigated by high-pressure IR spectroscopy. The samples were prepared via the sol-gel method, and the pressure-dependent changes in the C–H absorption bands were investigated. No appreciable changes were observed in the spectral features when the ILs were confined in silica matrices under ambient pressure. That is, the infrared measurements obtained under ambient pressure were not sufficient to detect the interfacial interactions between the ILs and the porous silica. However, dramatic differences were observed in the spectral features of [C2C1Im][BF4] and [C4C1Im][BF4] in silica matrices under the conditions of high pressures. The surfaces of porous silica appeared to weaken the cation-anion interactions caused by pressure-enhanced interfacial IL-silica interactions. This confinement effect under high pressures was less obvious for [C4C1Im][BF4]. The size of the cations appeared to play a prominent role in the IL-silica systems.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations (up to the nanoscale) were performed on the 3-methyl-1-pentylimidazolium ionic liquid cation paired with three anions; chloride, nitrate, and thiocyanate as aqueous mixtures, using the effective fragment potential (EFP) method, a computationally inexpensive way of modeling intermolecular interactions. The simulations provided insight (preferred geometries, radial distribution functions and theoretical proton NMR resonances) into the interactions within the ionic domain and are validated against 1H NMR spectroscopy and small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering experiments on 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium. Ionic liquids containing thiocyanate typically resist gelation and form poorly ordered lamellar structures upon mixing with water. Conversely, chloride, a strongly coordinating anion, normally forms strong physical gels and produces well-ordered nanostructures adopting a variety of structural motifs over a very wide range of water compositions. Nitrate is intermediate in character, whereby upon dispersal in water it displays a range of viscosities and self-assembles into nanostructures with considerable variability in the fidelity of ordering and symmetry, as a function of water content in the binary mixtures. The observed changes in the macro and nanoscale characteristics were directly correlated to ionic domain structures and intermolecular interactions as theoretically predicted by the analysis of MD trajectories and calculated RDFs. Specifically, both chloride and nitrate are positioned in the plane of the cation. Anion to cation proximity is dependent on water content. Thiocyanate is more susceptible to water insertion into the second solvent shell. Experimental 1H NMR chemical shifts monitor the site-specific competition dependence with water content in the binary mixtures. Thiocyanate preferentially sits above and below the aromatic ring plane, a state disallowing interaction with the protons on the imidazolium ring.
