Under the optimum conditions, using 1-(3-sulfonic acid) propyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([MimC3SO3H][HSO4]) and 1-(4-sulfonic acid) butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([MimC 4 SO 3 H][HSO4 ]) as dual solvent-catalysts, the conversion of esterification of aromatic acid was determined to be more than 90%, indicating that HSO3-functionalized ILs show much better catalytic ability than those of non-functionalized ionic liquids. The separation of desired product was easily performed by extraction with diethyl ether and these HSO3-functionalized ILs could be reused 7 times after vacuum drying. Our data represent an environmentally friendly method for the preparation of aromatic esters.展开更多

ZnO nanoparticles were first deposited on glass surfaces to produce roughness. Next, SAMs of fluorinated-alkyl-3-（3-triethoxysilylpropyl）-4,5-dihydro-imidazoliumiodide （abb. [C8Ftespim]I） were grafted onto these surfaces via -Si-O- covalent bonds using self-assembly technique. The I- ion could be subsequently exchanged with BF4, PF6-or Tf2N- through a simple aqueous anion-exchange reaction. The ZnO/ILs hybrid layers were characterized by atomic-force microscopy （AFM）, scanning-electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. Their wettability was estimated through the measurements of static and dynamic contact angles （CAs）. Compared to corresponding films of ZnO/[CsFtespim]I with CAs 140.7° ±2.0°, films of ZnO/[CsFtespim]PF6 and ZnO/[CsFtespim]Tf2N showed CAs with 154.0° ± 2.0° and 152.0° ± 2.0°, respectively that remained for a long time. This result suggests that anion-exchange can afford superhydrophobic materials. In addition, the wettability of ZnO/[CsFtespim]X hybrid layers can be reversibly switched by altering ultraviolet （UV） irradiation and dark storage, which shows a photo-induced reversible switch of wettability. The synergistic action of ZnO nanoparticles and SAMs of ILs produced light-anion dual-responsive superhydrophobic materials with ideal stability.展开更多
