    Our modern study is going to inspect new inclusion phenomena between the 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Bdmim]BF4 ionic liquid (IL) and the host α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) by a 1:1 ratio and newly formed inclusion complex was further explored by the 1H-NMR, FT-IR, UV–vis spectroscopy, PXRD, DSC, and SEM analysis. Molecular docking was also performed to investigate the encapsulation of the inclusion complex in which orientation and it have been seen that the IL [Bdmim]BF4 enters into the α-CD cavity with a 1:1 ratio was further established with the help of Job’s plot. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of [Bdmim]BF4 IL and its inclusion complex was verified against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains.

    High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The goal of this study was to use coevaporation to look into how polyether compounds like mephenesin (MEP) can be encapsulated into the host molecule α-cyclodextrin’s nanohydrophobic cage. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) investigations, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and 1 H NMR were among the spectroscopic techniques used to describe the inclusion complex. Additionally, Job’s plot has been utilized to illustrate how MEP is encapsulated with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) at a 1:1 molar ratio. The thermal stability of MEP increased after encapsulation according to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) experiments. Mephenesin fits into the cavity of α-cyclodextrin in a 1:1 ratio, as observed by molecular docking for the inclusion complex to find the most appropriate orientation. This observation is further supported by the Job plot. Furthermore, a comparison was carried out based on a cell viability study between the medication and its inclusion complex.
  • Exploration of Diverse Interactions of l-Methionine in Aqueous Ionic Liquid Solutions: Insights from Experimental and Theoretical Studies

    ACS Omega, 2023
    Here, we have investigated some physicochemical parameters to understand the molecular interactions by means of density (ρ) measurement, measurement of viscosity (η), refractive index(nD) measurement, and conductance and surface tension measurements between two significant aqueous ionic liquid solutions: benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (BTMAC) and benzyl triethyl ammonium chloride (BTEAC) in an aqueous l-methionine (amino acid) solution. The apparent molar volume (Φv), coefficient of viscosity (B), and molar refraction (RM) have been used to analyze the molecular interaction behavior associated in the solution at various concentrations and various temperatures. With the help of some important equations such as the Masson equation, the Jones–Doles equation, and the Lorentz–Lorenz equation, very significant parameters, namely, limiting apparent molar volumes (Φv0), coefficient of viscosity (B), and limiting molar refraction (RM0), respectively, are obtained. These parameters along with specific conductance (κ) and surface tension (σ) are very much helpful to reveal the solute–solvent interactions by varying the concentration of solute molecules and temperature in the solution. Analyses of Δμ10#, Δμ20#, TΔS20#, ΔH20#, and thermodynamic data provide us valuable information about the interactions. We note that l-Met in 0.005 molality BTEAC ionic liquid at 308.15 K shows maximum solute–solvent interaction, while l-Met in 0.001 molality BTMAC aqueous solution of ionic liquid at 298.15 K shows the minimum one. Spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 1H-NMR, and UV–vis also provide supportive information about the interactions between the ionic liquid and l-methionine in aqueous medium. Furthermore, adsorption energy, reduced density gradient (RDG), and molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) maps obtained by the application of density functional theory (DFT) have been used to determine the type of interactions, which are concordant with the experimental observations.

  • Conductance and FTIR spectroscopic study of sodium tetraphenylborate in pure 1,3-dioxolane and isoamyl alcohol and their binary mixtures
    Anuradha Sinha, Gargi Ghosh, Mahendra Nath Roy
    Physics and Chemistry of Liquids, 2010
    Systems of 1,3-dioxolane and isoamyl alcohol complexed with sodium tetraphenylborate (NaBPh4) are examined using electrical conductance measurements and FTIR spectroscopy at 298.15 K. The conductance data has been analysed by the Fuoss conductance–concentration equation in terms of the limiting molar conductance (Λ0), the association constant (K A) and the distance of closest approach of ions (R). The observed molar conductivities were explained by the formation of ion-pairs (M+ + X− ↔ MX). Cation–anion interactions along with the hydrogen bonding interactions are investigated by evaluating the frequency shifts of the solvents in the pure state as well as their binary mixtures upon complexation with the salt.
  • Ion-Solvent interactions in acrylonitrile solutions of some tetraalkylammonium halides using FTIR spectroscopy
    Anuradha Sinha, Arijit Bhattacharjee, Mahendra Nath Roy
    Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology, 2009
    The FTIR spectra of tetrapentylammonium bromide (Pe4NBr), tetrapentylammonium iodide (Pe4NI), tetrahexylammonium bromide (He4NBr), tetrahexylammonium iodide (He4NI), tetraheptylammonium bromide (Hp4NBr), and tetraheptylammonium iodide (Hp4NI) in pure acrylonitrile were observed at 0.1(M), 0.08(M), 0.05(M), and 0.02(M) concentrations. The region of immobilized solvent resulting from the structure-making effects of electrostriction increases with increase in charge-surface ratio of the ions. Cation-anion interactions are thus investigated by evaluating the frequency shifts of the solvent in the pure state upon complexation with the salt.

  • Conductivity studies of sodium iodide in pure tetrahydrofuran and aqueous mixture of tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane at 298.15 k
    Anuradha Sinha, Mahendra Nath Roy
    Physics and Chemistry of Liquids, 2007
    Electrical conductance measurements are reported for sodium iodide (NaI) in water + tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water + 1,4-dioxane binary mixtures at 298.15 K. The conductance data have been analyzed by the Fuoss conductance–concentration equation in terms of the limiting molar conductance (Λ 0), the association constant (K A) and the distance of closest approach of ions (R). Furthermore, the conductance data for pure THF have also been analyzed by the Fuoss–Kraus theory and the values of the ion-pair and triple-ion formation constants are calculated.
  • Densities, viscosities, and sound speeds of some acetate salts in binary mixtures of tetrahydrofuran and methanol at (303.15, 313.15, and 323.15) K
    Anuradha Sinha, Mahendra N. Roy
    Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data, 2006
    The densities and viscosities of ammonium acetate, potassium acetate, sodium acetate, and lithium acetate have been measured in 10, 20, and 30 mass % of tetrahydrofuran + methanol binary solvent mixtures at (303.15, 313.15, and 323.15) K. Apparent molar volumes (Vφ), partial molar expansibility (E2), viscosity B-coefficients, and free energy of activation for viscous flow (Δμ0*) are obtained from these data. The limiting apparent molar volumes (Vφ0) and experimental slopes ( ) derived from the Masson equation have been interpreted in terms of ion−solvent and ion−ion interactions, respectively. The viscosity data have been analyzed using the Jones−Dole equation, and the derived parameters B and A have also been interpreted in terms of ion−solvent and ion−ion interactions. The sound speeds measured at 303.15 K have been used to study the apparent molal isentropic compressibility (KS,φ), intermolecular free length (Lf), relative association (RA), relaxation strength (r‘), and specific acoustic impedance (Z) ...
