J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 678:355-364. [PMID: 39208763 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.08.187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The friction and interfacial nanostructure of a water-in-surface-active ionic liquid mixture, 1.6 M 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium 1,4-bis-2-ethylhexylsulfosuccinate ([BMIm][AOT]), can be tuned by applying potential on Au(111) and stainless steel. EXPERIMENTAL Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to examine the friction and interfacial nanostructure of 1.6 M [BMIm][AOT] on Au(111) and stainless steel at different potentials. FINDINGS Superlubricity (vanishing friction) is observed for both surfaces at OCP+1.0 V up to a surface-dependent critical normal force due to [AOT]- bilayers adsorbing strongly to the positively charged surface thus allowing AFM tip to slide over solution-facing hydrated anion charged groups. High-resolution AFM imaging reveals ripple-like features within near-surface layers, with the smallest amplitudes at OCP+1 V, indicating the highest structural stability and resistance to thermal fluctuations due to highly ordered boundary [AOT]- bilayers templating robust near-surface layers. Exceeding the critical normal force at OCP+1.0 V causes the AFM tip to penetrate the hydrated [AOT]- layer and slide over alkyl chains, increasing friction. At OCP and OCP-1.0 V, higher friction correlates with more pronounced ripples, attributed to the rougher templating [BMIm]+ boundary layer. Kinetic experiments show that switching from OCP-1.0 V to OCP+1.0 V achieves superlubricity within 15 s, enabling real-time friction control.

Dhahir SA, Braihi AJ, Habeeb SA. Comparative Analysis of Hydrogel Adsorption/Desorption with and without Surfactants. Gels 2024; 10:251. [PMID: 38667670 PMCID: PMC11049081 DOI: 10.3390/gels10040251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
In this particular study, a hydrogel known as SAP-1 was synthesized through the grafting of acrylic acid-co-acrylamide onto pullulan, resulting in the creation of Pul-g-Poly (acrylic acid-co-acrylamide). Additionally, a sponge hydrogel named SAP-2 was prepared by incorporating the surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) into the hydrogel through free radical solution polymerization. To gain further insight into the composition and properties of the hydrogels, various techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), atomic absorption spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), were employed. Conversely, the absorption kinetics and the equilibrium capacities of the prepared hydrogels were investigated and analyzed. The outcomes of the investigation indicated that each of the synthesized hydrogels exhibited considerable efficacy as adsorbents for cadmium (II), copper (II), and nickel (II) ions. In particular, SAP-2 gel displayed a remarkable cadmium (II) ion absorption ability, with a rate of 190.72 mg/g. Following closely, SAP-1 gel demonstrated the ability to absorb cadmium (II) ions at a rate of 146.9 mg/g and copper (II) ions at a rate of 154 mg/g. Notably, SAP-2 hydrogel demonstrated the ability to repeat the adsorption-desorption cycles three times for cadmium (II) ions, resulting in absorption capacities of 190.72 mg/g, 100.43 mg/g, and 19.64 mg/g for the first, second, and third cycles, respectively. Thus, based on the abovementioned results, it can be concluded that all the synthesized hydrogels possess promising potential as suitable candidates for the adsorption and desorption of cadmium (II), copper (II), and nickel (II) ions.

Abstract
Silicone surfactants have garnered significant research attention owing to their superior properties, such as wettability, ductility, and permeability. Small-molecular silicone surfactants with simple molecular structures outperform polymeric silicone surfactants in terms of surface activity, emulsification, wetting, foaming, and other areas. Moreover, silicone surfactants with small molecules exhibit a diverse and rich molecular structure. This review discusses various synthetic routes for the synthesis of different classes of surfactants, including single-chain, "umbrella" structure, double chain, bolaform, Gemini, and stimulus-responsive surfactants. The fundamental surface/interface properties of the synthesized surfactants are also highlighted. Additionally, these surfactants have demonstrated enormous potential in agricultural synergism, drug delivery, mineral flotation, enhanced oil recovery, separation, and extraction, and foam fire-fighting.

Past-Present-Future Assessment. Chem Rev 2024; 124:3037-3084.

Abstract
Proteins are highly labile molecules, thus requiring the presence of appropriate solvents and excipients in their liquid milieu to keep their stability and biological activity. In this field, ionic liquids (ILs) have gained momentum in the past years, with a relevant number of works reporting their successful use to dissolve, stabilize, extract, and purify proteins. Different approaches in protein-IL systems have been reported, namely, proteins dissolved in (i) neat ILs, (ii) ILs as co-solvents, (iii) ILs as adjuvants, (iv) ILs as surfactants, (v) ILs as phase-forming components of aqueous biphasic systems, and (vi) IL-polymer-protein/peptide conjugates. Herein, we critically analyze the works published to date and provide a comprehensive understanding of the IL-protein interactions affecting the stability, conformational alteration, unfolding, misfolding, and refolding of proteins while providing directions for future studies in view of imminent applications. Overall, it has been found that the stability or purification of proteins by ILs is bispecific and depends on the structure of both the IL and the protein. The most promising IL-protein systems are identified, which is valuable when foreseeing market applications of ILs, e.g., in "protein packaging" and "detergent applications". Future directions and other possibilities of IL-protein systems in light-harvesting and biotechnology/biomedical applications are discussed.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The surface-active ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium 1,4-bis-2-ethylhexylsulfosuccinate ([BMIm][AOT]), has a sponge-like bulk nanostructure consisting of percolating polar and apolar domains formed by the ion charge groups and alkyl chains, respectively. We hypothesise that added water will swell the polar domains and change the liquid nanostructure. EXPERIMENTS Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM) were used to investigate the nanostructure of [BMIm][AOT] as a function of water content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was employed to probe the thermal transitions of [BMIm][AOT]-water mixtures and the mobility of water molecules. FINDINGS SAXS, SANS and POM show that at lower water contents, [BMIm][AOT]-water mixtures have a sponge-like nanostructure similar to the pure SAIL, at medium water contents a lamellar phase forms, and at high water contents vesicles form. DSC results reveal that water molecules are supercooled in the lamellar phase. For the first time, results reveal a series of transitions from inverse sponge, to lamellar then to vesicles, for [BMIm][AOT] upon dilution with water.

Abstract
One important quest for making high quality materials with amphiphiles is to understand how a disordered self-assembly changes to a stable crystalline state. Herein, we addressed the basic question by investigating the phase transition mechanism of imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) [C16mim]Br, using time-resolved small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS-WAXS), differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. Totally, a hexagonal phase, two lamellar-gel phases, and three lamellar-crystalline phases were observed, showing the special polymorphism of the system. It was demonstrated that at low concentrations the two-dimensional gel phase (Lβ1) transforms into the most stable lamellar-crystal phase (Lc3) through two intermediate crystalline phases Lc1 and Lc2. At high concentrations, the Lβ1 phase changes to a condensed lamellar gel phase (Lβ2) before changing to Lc2 and eventually to Lc3. Comparative studies using [C16mim]Cl and [C16mim]NO3 unveiled that the interactions between the counterions and the headgroups of the IL, as well as the dehydration process, govern the nucleation process of Lc3 and thus the formation of the crystal. The in-depth investigation on the transition mechanism and the phase polymorphism in the present work advances our understanding of the crystallization of amphiphilic ionic liquids in dispersions and would promote future applications.

Abstract
The viscoelasticity of wormlike micelles composed of ionic surfactants typically shows an exponential decrease with increasing temperature, which limits their application in relatively high-temperature (>90.0 °C) oilfields and the synthesis of functional materials as supramolecular templates at high temperatures. In this work, a series of imidazolium gemini surfactants, 1,9-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(3-alkyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) bromide ([Cn-2-Cnim]Br2, n = 12, 14, 16, 18, 20), were synthesized. Their surface activities and aggregation behaviors in water were studied by electrical conductivity, rheology, polarization optical microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, ζ potential, and hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. [C12-2-C12im]Br2 and [C14-2-C14im]Br2 mainly precipitate in water. [Cn-2-Cnim]Br2 (n = 16, 18, 20) forms lamellar liquid crystals over a large range of concentrations at low temperatures. With the increase of temperature, the lamellar liquid crystals transit to wormlike micelles. Interestingly, the viscoelasticity of the three wormlike micelles first increases to the maximum and then decreases with increasing temperature. These wormlike micelles without additives retain high viscoelasticity up to 90.0 °C or above. With the increase of the alkyl chain length of the surfactants, the transition temperature of lamellar liquid crystal to wormlike micelles and the disintegration temperature of wormlike micelles increase. The unusual increase of the viscoelasticity of wormlike micelles was due to the desorption of weakly bound counterions and the extension of the long hydrophobic chains of surfactants at high temperatures.

Abstract
Fundamental physical chemical properties of monolayers formed from a new anionic gemini surfactant with a minimal-length (single-bond) spacer unit have been investigated at the air-water interface and compared with those of monolayers formed from affiliated comparator surfactants. The minimal spacer surfactant, dubbed C18-0-C18, exhibited strikingly different packing characteristics from an anionic gemini surfactant with a comparatively bulkier headgroup, including the formation of close-packed, crystalline films, and shared similar characteristics to simple fatty acid-based monolayers. Monolayers of C18-0-C18 also exhibited good stability at the air-water interface and transferred with reasonable efficiency to solid substrates, although the film integrity was compromised during the transfer. Results from this work suggest that the single-bond spacer approach might be more broadly useful for designing gemini surfactants that pack efficiently into ordered monolayers.

Abstract
Interaction between cationic surfactants and nucleic acids attracts much attention due to the possibility of using such systems for gene delivery. Herein, the lipoplexes based on cationic surfactants with imidazolium head group bearing methoxyphenyl fragment (MPI-n, n = 10, 12, 14, 16) and nucleic acids (oligonucleotide and plasmid DNA) were explored. The complex formation was confirmed by dynamic/electrophoretic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and gel electrophoresis. The nanosized lipoplex formation (of about 100-200 nm), contributed by electrostatic, hydrophobic interactions, and intercalation mechanism, has been shown. Significant effects of the hydrocarbon tail length of surfactant and the type of nucleic acid on their interaction was revealed. The cytotoxic effect and transfection ability of lipoplexes studied were determined using M-HeLa, A549 cancer cell lines, and normal Chang liver cells. A selective reduced cytotoxic effect of the complexes on M-HeLa cancer cells was established, as well as a high ability of the systems to be transfected into cancer cells. MPI-n/DNA complexes showed a pronounced transfection activity equal to the commercial preparation Lipofectamine 3000. Thus, it has been shown that MPI-n surfactants are effective agents for nucleic acid condensation and can be considered as potential non-viral vectors for gene delivery.

Abstract
One of the main problems in the treatment of poisoning with organophosphorus (OPs) inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is low ability of existing reactivators of AChE that are used as antidotes to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In this work, modified cationic liposomes were developed that can penetrate through the BBB and deliver the reactivator of AChE pralidoxime chloride (2-PAM) into the brain. Liposomes were obtained on the basis of phosphatidylcholine and imidazolium surfactants. To obtain the composition optimized in terms of charge, stability, and toxicity, the molar ratio of surfactant/lipid was varied. For the systems, physicochemical parameters, release profiles of the substrates (rhodamine B, 2-PAM), hemolytic activity and ability to cause hemagglutination were evaluated. Screening of liposome penetration through the BBB, analysis of 2-PAM pharmacokinetics, and in vivo AChE reactivation showed that modified liposomes readily pass into the brain and reactivate brain AChE in rats poisoned with paraoxon (POX) by 25%. For the first time, an assessment was made of the ability of imidazolium liposomes loaded with 2-PAM to reduce the death of neurons in the brains of mice. It was shown that intravenous administration of liposomal 2-PAM can significantly reduce POX-induced neuronal death in the hippocampus.

Abstract
The interfacial along with bulk characteristics of the aqueous solutions of ILs with dissimilar cationic head group viz. 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C12mim][Br]), and N-dodecyl-N-methylmorpholinium bromide ([Mor1,12][Br]) in the absence and the presence of an amino acid L-Methionine as an external additive have been examined by electrical conductivity, UV-Visible, surface tension, and DLS measurements. The CMC values, and the lowest maximum surface excess concentration (Гmax) achieved from all three techniques, and surface tension measurements respectively displayed more surface activity of the [C12mim][Br] than the [Mor1,12][Br]. Also, the morpholinium head group is less hazardous than imidazolium, it can be utilised to design ILs that are greener, mainly in combination with polar, small, and non-toxic side chains and anions.

Abstract
Novel cationic amphiphiles of the 3-alkyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium bromide series bearing methoxyphenyl fragments (MPI-n) have been synthesized. Their aggregation properties in aqueous solutions, solubilization capacity, and hemolytic and antimicrobial activities have been investigated by a number of physicochemical methods. Using tensiometry, conductometry, and fluorescence spectroscopy, it was shown that the MPI-n have lower CMCs than their nonfunctionalized counterparts. The unusual alkyl-chain-length-dependent morphology of aggregates is testified for this homological series. Amphiphiles with 12, 14, and 16 alkyl tails are characterized by the formation of micellar aggregates, while a surfactant with a decyl tail is characterized by the formation of larger aggregates with lower surface curvature. The MPI-10 aggregate morphology was rationalized in terms of the packing parameter consideration and was supported by size measurements and the fluorescence probe techniques, which showed that vesicle-like aggregates in close-packing mode probably occur. MPI-n aggregates have exhibited a high solubilization capacity toward hydrophobic azo dye Orange OT. Importantly, amphiphiles studied showed (i) high bacteriostatic activity at the level of ciprofloxacin; (ii) high bactericidal action against all Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant strains; (iii) bactericidal properties against Gram-negative bacteria; and (iv) low hemolytic activity.

Abstract
Antimicrobial, membranotropic and cytotoxic properties of dicationic imidazolium surfactants of n-s-n (Im) series with variable length of alkyl group (n = 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) and spacer fragment (s = 2, 3, 4) were explored and compared with monocationic analogues. Their activity against a representative range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and also fungi, is characterized. The relationship between the biological activity and the structural features of these compounds is revealed, with the hydrophobicity emphasized as a key factor. Among dicationic surfactants, decyl derivatives showed highest antimicrobial effect, while for monocationic analogues, the maximum activity is observed in the case of tetradecyl tail. The leading compounds are 2–4 times higher in activity compared to reference antibiotics and prove effective against resistant strains. It has been shown that the antimicrobial effect is not associated with the destruction of the cell membrane, but is due to specific interactions of surfactants and cell components. Importantly, they show strong selectivity for microorganism cells while being of low harm to healthy human cells, with a SI ranging from 30 to 100.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), being related to the design of new environmentally friendly solvents, are widely considered for applications within the "green chemistry" concept. Due to their unique properties and wide diversity, ILs allow tailoring new separation procedures and producing new materials for advanced applications. However, despite the promising technical performance, environmental concerns highlighted in recent studies focused on the toxicity and biodegradability of ILs and their metabolites have revealed that ILs safety labels are not as benign as previously claimed. This review refers to the fundamentals about the properties and applications of ILs also in the context of their potential environmental effect. Toxicological issues and harmful effects related to the use of ILs are discussed, including the evaluation of their biodegradability and ecological impact on diverse organisms and ecosystems, also with respect to bacteria, fungi, and cell cultures. In addition, this review covers the tools used to assess the toxicity of ILs, including the predictive computational models and the results of studies involving cell membrane models and molecular simulations. Summing up the knowledge available so far, there are still no reliable criteria for unequivocal attribution of toxicity and environmental impact credentials for ILs, which is a challenging research task.

Abstract
In this review, we deal with the formation and application of biocompatible water-in-oil microemulsions commonly known as reverse micelles (RMs). These RMs are extremely important to facilitate the dissolution of hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds for biocompatibility in applications in drug delivery, food science, and nanomedicine. The combination of two wisely chosen types of compounds such as biocompatible non-polar solvents and ionic liquids (ILs) with amphiphilic character (surface-active ionic liquids, SAILs) can be used to generate organized systems that perfectly align with the Green Chemistry concepts. Thus, we describe the current state of SAILs (protic and aprotic) to prepare RMs using non-polar but safe solvents such as esters derived from fatty acids, among others. Moreover, the use of the biocompatible solvents as the external phase in RMs and microemulsions/nanoemulsions with the other commonly used biocompatible surfactants is detailed showing the diversity of preparations and important applications. As shown by multiple examples, the properties of the RMs can be modified by changes in the type of surfactant and/or external solvents but a key fact to note is that all these modifications generate novel systems with dissimilar properties. These interesting properties cannot be anticipated or extrapolated, and deep analysis is always required. Finally, the works presented provide valuable information about the use of biocompatible RMs, making them a green and promising alternative toward efficient and sustainable chemistry.

Abstract
Ionic liquids crystals belong to a special class of ionic liquids that exhibit thermotropic liquid-crystalline behavior. Recently, dicationic ionic liquid crystals have been reported with a cation containing two single-charged ions covalently linked by a spacer. In ionic liquid crystals, electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions in ionic sublayer and van der Waals interaction in hydrophobic domains are the main forces contributing to the mesophase stabilization and determining the molecular orientational order and conformation. How these properties in dicationic materials are compared to those in conventional monocationic analogs? We address this question using a combination of advanced NMR methods and DFT analysis. Dicationic salt 3,3′-(1,6-hexanediyl)bis(1-dodecylimidazolium)dibromide was studied. Local bond order parameters of flexible alkyl side chains, linker chain, and alignment of rigid polar groups were analyzed. The dynamic spacer effectively “decouples” the motion of two ionic moieties. Hence, local order and alignment in dicationic mesophase were similar to those in analogous single-chain monocationic salts. Bond order parameters in the side chains in the dicationic smectic phase were found consistently lower compared to double-chain monocationic analogs, suggesting decreasing contribution of van der Waals forces. Overall dication reorientation in the smectic phase was characterized by low values of orientational order parameter S. With increased interaction energy in the polar domain the layered structure is stabilized despite less ordered dications. The results emphasized the trends in the orientational order in ionic liquid crystals and contributed to a better understanding of interparticle interactions driving smectic assembly in this and analogous ionic mesogens.

Abstract
The antibacterial activity of imidazole and imidazolium salts is highly dependent upon their lipophilicity, which can be tuned through the introduction of different hydrophobic substituents on the nitrogen atoms of the imidazole or imidazolium ring of the molecule. Taking this into consideration, we have synthesized and characterized a series of imidazole and imidazolium salts derived from L-valine and L-phenylalanine containing different hydrophobic groups and tested their antibacterial activity against two model bacterial strains, Gram-negative E. coli and Gram-positive B. subtilis. Importantly, the results demonstrate that the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of these derivatives can be tuned to fall close to the cytotoxicity values in eukaryotic cell lines. The MBC value of one of these compounds toward B. subtilis was found to be lower than the IC50 cytotoxicity value for the control cell line, HEK-293. Furthermore, the aggregation behavior of these compounds has been studied in pure water, in cell culture media, and in mixtures thereof, in order to determine if the compounds formed self-assembled aggregates at their bioactive concentrations with the aim of determining whether the monomeric species were in fact responsible for the observed antibacterial activity. Overall, these results indicate that imidazole and imidazolium compounds derived from L-valine and L-phenylalanine—with different alkyl lengths in the amide substitution—can serve as potent antibacterial agents with low cytotoxicity to human cell lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of new effective microbicide surfactants and the search for the structure-biological activity relationship is an important and promising problem. Surfactants containing imidazolium fragment attract attention of researchers in the field of chemotherapy, because these compounds often exhibit high antimicrobial activity. The aim of this work is to identify the newly synthesized surfactants from the viewpoint of their potential usefulness in pharmacology and medicine. For this purpose, a detailed study of antimicrobial, hemolytic and cytotoxic activity of dicationic alkylimidazolium surfactants of the m-s-m (Im) series with a variable length of a hydrocarbon tail (m = 10, 12) and a spacer fragment (s = 2, 3, 4) was carried out. METHODS Aggregation of surfactants in solutions was estimated by tensiometry and conductivity. Antimicrobial activity was determined by the serial dilution technique. Cytotoxic effects of the test compounds on human cancer and normal cells were estimated by means of the multifunctional Cytell Cell Imaging system. Cell Apoptosis Analysis was made by flow cytometry. RESULTS The test compounds show high antimicrobial activity against a wide range of test microorganisms and do not possess high hemolytic activity. Importantly, some of them display a bactericidal activity comparable to ciprofloxacin fluoroquinolone antibiotic against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus (MRSA). The cytotoxicity of the compounds against normal and tumor human cell lines has been tested as well, with cytotoxic effect and selectivity strongly controlled by structural factor and kind of cell line. Superior results were revealed for compound 10-4-10 (Im) in the case of HuTu 80 cell line (duodenal adenocarcinoma), for which IC50 value at the level of doxorubicin and a markedly higher selectivity index (SI 7.5) were demonstrated. Flow cytometry assay shows apoptosis-inducing effect of this compound on HuTu 80 cells, through significant changes in the potential of mitochondrial membrane. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Antibacterial properties are shown to be controlled by alkyl chain length, with the highest activity demonstrated by surfactants with decyl tail, with the length of the spacer fragment showing practically no effect. The results indicate that the mechanism of cytotoxic effect of the compounds can be associated with the induction of apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Selectivity against pathogenic microorganisms and low toxicity against eukaryotic cells allow considering dicationic imidazolium surfactants as new effective antimicrobial agents. At the same time, high selectivity against some cancer cell lines indicates the prospect of their using as components of new anticancer drugs.

Abstract
The present study was designed to explore the hydrophobicity and concentration dependence of imidazolium based surface active ionic liquids (SAILs) effects on the structural-functional integrity of proteins. Specifically, we investigated the impact of SAILs viz. 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium dodecylbenzenesulfonate ([OMIM][DBS]) and 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium dodecylbenzenesulfonate ([DDMIM][DBS]) on activity, structure and stability of lysozyme. Activity measurements revealed that, in contrast to [DDMIM][DBS] that renders lysozyme either feebly active or inactive, [OMIM][DBS] significantly enhances the lysozyme activity in the concentration range of critical aggregation concentrations (CAC) to Cs (SAIL saturation concentration of protein backbone) i.e., 0.5 mM-1.35 mM. Tensiometric results in agreement with turbidity measurements inferred significant composition and concentration dependence of the lysozyme-SAIL interactions. Spectroscopic investigations revealed that compared to destabilizing behaviour of [DDMIM][DBS], [OMIM][DBS] significantly enhances both conformational as well as thermal stability of lysozyme in the CAC to Cs concentration regime. Altogether, results obtained do indicate that [OMIM][DBS], in the concentration regime of CAC to Cs, serves as an efficient stabiliser with an ability to appreciably enhance the activity, thermal stability and overall conformational stability of lysozyme. We firmly believe that [OMIM][DBS], at least in the CAC to Cs concentration ranges, can be exploited as a promising stabiliser and activity enhancer for numerous industrially important enzymes.

Abstract
Ag/AgCl-based structures have recently been receiving considerable attention as visible-light-driven plasmonic photocatalysts, wherein the fabrication of Ag/AgCl species shaped with an anisotropic morphology is considered to be an efficient way to enhance their performances. While the past decade has witnessed great progress in this direction, it is still strongly desired to initiate a green and low-cost protocol for the synthesis of Ag/AgCl based structures with high catalytic activity. Using a surfactant-assisted synthesis protocol, wherein a cationic bola-type surfactant of chloride counteranions serves both as a reactant (namely, source of chlorine) for the generation of AgCl structures and as a directing template to assist the formation of anisotropic structures, we herein report that cube-like Ag/AgCl with blunt edges could be fabricated simply by dropping an aqueous solution of silver nitrate into an ethanol solution of the hexane-1,6-bis(trimethylammonium chloride) surfactant. Importantly, compared to the sphere-like counterparts manufactured using a conventional tadpole surfactant, the as-fabricated cube-like structures exhibit substantially improved catalytic performances under visible-light or natural-sunlight irradiation. It has been revealed that photogenerated holes might serve as the main active species during the catalytic process. Meanwhile, our results have disclosed that in contrast to the sphere-like Ag/AgCl structures, the as-constructed cube-like structures are relatively enriched with high-index AgCl facets of smaller hole effective mass, which promote a faster carrier transfer, facilitate the migration of the photogenerated holes to the surface to be involved in photocatalytic reactions, and suppress carrier recombination, leading to their enhanced photocatalytic performances. Considering the tremendous diversity of surfactants (bola-, gemini-, polymeric surfactants etc.) with various halide counteranions and their sophisticated template effects, our new strategy might open up new opportunities for silver/silver halide (Ag/AgX, X = Cl, Br, and I)-based plasmonic structures with various morphologies and with superior light-to-chemical energy conversion capability.

Abstract
This work studies the effect of the cation and anion on the biodegradability and inhibition of imidazolium- and choline-based ionic liquids (ILs) using activated sludge. Six commercial ILs, formed by combination of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium (Bmim+) and N,N,N-trimethylethanolammonium (Choline+) cations and chloride (Cl-), acetate (Ac-) and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (NTf2-) anions were evaluated, all representative counter-ions with markedly different toxicity and biodegradability. Inherent and fast biodegradability tests were used to evaluate both the microorganism inhibition and the IL biodegradability. In addition, the ecotoxicological response (EC50) of the ILs was studied using activated sludge and Vibrio fischeri (Microtox® test). Bmim+ and NTf2- can be considered as non-biodegradable, whereas aerobic microorganisms easily degraded Choline+ and Ac-. The biodegradation pattern of each cation/anion is nearly unaffected by counter-ion nature. Moreover, concentrations of CholineNTf2 higher than 50 mg/L caused a partial inhibition on microbial activity, in good concordance with its low EC50 (54 mg/L) measured by respiration inhibition test, which alerts on the negative environmental impact of NTf2-containing ILs on the performance of sewage treatment plants.

Abstract
During the past decade, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have shown promising application in the self-assembly of surfactants. Various aggregates such as micelles, vesicles, lyotropic liquid crystals, microemulsions and gels have been reported. In this research, the phase behaviours of imidazolium surface active ionic liquids (SAILs) CnmimBr (n = 12, 14, 16) were investigated in ChG. With the help of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), the types and structure parameters of aggregates were determined. The molecular packing of SAILs was influenced by the solvophobic chain length, surfactant concentration, temperature and solvent, accounting for their different aggregation behaviours. This study would give a good description of the molecular packing of surfactants in DESs.

Abstract
Ionic liquids that form micelles have great potential as drug carriers and separating agents for bioactive substances. For such applications, a key issue is the distribution of the target substance between the micelle and its environment. We perform MD simulations to study solubilization of zwitter-ionic tryptophan in micelles of 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide. We found that the distribution of tryptophan depends strongly on the degree of counterion binding. A decrease in binding of bromide counterions leads to a substantial increase of the distribution coefficient. A dense layer of counterions at the micellar surface impedes the solubilization of the zwitter-ionic tryptophan but at the same time the presence of such a dense layer obstructs the washout of the solubilized tryptophan molecules from the micelle. Based on our simulation data, we conclude that an increase of the distribution coefficient of tryptophan between the micelle and water may be achieved by several means: by introducing counterions that bind weakly to the micelle (bulky ions whose charge is not strongly localized) and/or by employing micelle-forming ionic liquids with shorter alkyl chains to diminish the degree of counterion binding.

Abstract
A new bisimidazolium salt with dodecyl sulfate as counterion has been designed and prepared. This salt shows a SmA phase that is stable at room temperature. The new ionic liquid crystal (ILC) was characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. Its liquid crystalline properties were analyzed by polarizing optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The dielectric spectra of the ILC doped with different concentrations of carbon nanotubes (CNT) were recorded over a wide frequency and temperature range of 10-1 to 107 Hz and 293-338 K, respectively. The values of the activation energy were found in the range of 0.46-0.61 eV; the characteristic time was obtained by fitting the spectra of the dielectric loss with the Havriliak-Negami functions. As a result of doping the ILC with CNT, the electric conductivity increases significantly. Ionic conductivity is dominant and it was indirectly observed through the electrode polarization (EP) effect. The very high dielectric permittivity values and the decrease of the electric conductivity at low frequencies confirm the presence of EP.

Abstract
The conventional sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (NaDBS) has been converted into an efficient and nontoxic anionic surface-active ionic liquid, cholinium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (Cho[DBS]). We have investigated its self-assembling behavior, interaction with the enzyme cellulase, and ecotoxicity. The surface-active properties at the air-liquid interface and the aggregation behavior of Cho[DBS] in water have been determined using tensiometry, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), conductometry, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The enzyme activity was observed using dinitro salicylic acid analysis. The enhanced enzyme activity was explained through active-site exfoliation and structural constancy of cellulase in the micellar medium using the results from fluorescence, circular dichroism, DLS, and ITC. The nontoxic nature was confirmed by toxicity analysis on the freshwater microalgae Scenedesmus sp.
