Abstract:
The carboxyl-functionalized phosphonium ionic liquid (IL), [HCTMP][Tf(2)N], enabled the directed nucleation of monomeric or dimeric uranyl(vi) compounds. This new IL is the first carboxyl-functionalized IL which is liquid at room temperature and exhibits a wider electrochemical window and lower melting point than its ammonium analogue.
