Abstract
Alkylimidazolium chloride ionic liquids (ILs) have many uses in a variety of separation systems, including micro-confined separation systems. To understand the separation mechanism in these systems, the diffusion properties of analytes in ILs under relevant operating conditions, including micro-confinement dimension and temperature, should be known. For example, separation efficiencies for various IL-based microextraction techniques are dependent on the sample volume and temperature. Temperature-dependent (20-100 °C) fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) was utilized to determine the diffusion properties of a zwitterionic, hydrophilic dye, ATTO 647, in alkylimidazolium chloride ILs in micro-confined geometries. These micro-confined geometries were generated by sandwiching the IL between glass substrates that were separated by ∼1 to 100 μm. From the measured temperature-dependent FRAP data, we note alkyl chain length-, thickness-, and temperature-dependent diffusion coefficients, with values ranging from 0.021 to 46 μm2/s. Deviations from Brownian diffusion are observed at lower temperatures and increasingly less so at elevated temperatures; the differences are attributed to alterations in intermolecular interactions that reduce temperature-dependent nanoscale structural heterogeneities. The temperature- and thickness-dependent data provide a useful foundation for efficient design of micro-confined IL separation systems.

Abstract
The effect of crowding, background and probe charges and chain flexibility on probe dynamics of Green Fluorescent Protein in polyelectrolyte solutions of poly-l-lysine was investigated using Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP). An interesting double diffusive behavior in FRAP recovery curve was observed at low polymer concentration resulting in two relaxation modes, which disappears with rise in polymer concentration. The fast relaxation mode attributes to diffusion of free protein molecules alone, where as slow mode is credited to polymer adsorbed protein molecules. Absence of double diffusive behavior at higher polymer concentration is argued in terms of varying host chain conformation and the only relaxation mode present is due to movement of free probes alone rather than that of adsorbed proteins. We noticed only a marginal decrease in diffusion coefficient with rise in salt concentration and the trend is reversed when variation in sample viscosity with salt is taken into account. In addition a small but systematic decrease in diffusion coefficient is seen with increase in magnitude of probe charge. Comparison of results with ideal Stoke - Einstein relation brings out the importance of polyelectrolyte effect and indicates ∼200 - fold positive deviations from predicted value for both variation in ionic strength and solution pH.
