1-Ethylimidazolium nitrate, CAS: 501693-38-5

Key Applications:

Electrochemical Systems & Redox Chemistry

• Functions as a high‑conductivity ionic medium for redox‑active species in electrochemical cells.
• Supports nitrate‑based redox couples in fundamental studies of electron‑transfer mechanisms.
• Used in electrodeposition and surface‑modification experiments where nitrate coordination influences metal nucleation and morphology.

Catalysis & Reaction Media

• Acts as a polar, non‑volatile solvent for reactions requiring strong ionic environments.
• Employed in nitration reactions, where the nitrate anion can participate directly or modulate reaction selectivity.
• Supports acid‑catalyzed transformations, leveraging the mild Brønsted acidity of nitrate‑containing ionic liquids.

Biomass Processing & Green Chemistry

• Used as a dissolution medium for lignocellulosic biomass, aiding studies on cellulose swelling, delignification, and pretreatment efficiency.
• Enables ionic‑liquid‑assisted extraction of bioactive compounds where nitrate enhances solvation of polar species.

Spectroscopy, Solvation & Fundamental Studies

• Provides a tunable environment for vibrational, NMR, and UV‑Vis spectroscopy, especially in probing ion–solvent interactions.
• Used in molecular dynamics and solvation studies examining how nitrate influences hydrogen bonding and ionic structuring.
