1,3-Didecyl-2-methylimidazolium chloride, CAS: 70862-65-6

Key Applications:

Surface‑Active Ionic Liquid for Soft Materials

• Functions as a highly hydrophobic, long‑chain imidazolium salt with strong interfacial activity.
• Supports the formation of micelles, bilayers, and ordered soft‑matter assemblies useful in colloidal and materials research.

Sensors and Analytical Interfaces

• Applied in electrochemical and optical sensor platforms where stable ionic environments and tunable hydrophobicity are required.
• Used in sensor coatings to enhance signal stability, analyte partitioning, and surface responsiveness.

Nanomaterials and Composite Coatings

• Employed in coating graphene oxide and magnetite nanocomposites for selective extraction and detection of hemin from serum samples.
• Enhances dispersion, surface charge control, and interfacial compatibility in hybrid nanomaterials.

Pore‑Directing Agent in Mesostructured Materials

• The molecular symmetry of this ionic liquid has been leveraged as a pore‑directing agent in synthesizing mesoporous materials.
• Supports the fabrication of ordered mesoporous drug‑delivery systems with controlled pore size and improved loading efficiency.

Solvent and Reaction Medium

• Serves as a tunable ionic medium for organic transformations requiring high polarity, thermal stability, and hydrophobic character.
• Useful in phase‑transfer catalysis and in systems requiring immobilization of catalytic species.

Extraction and Separation

• Facilitates liquid–liquid extraction of hydrophobic organic molecules and biomolecules.
• Enhances solubilization and transport of poorly soluble compounds in biphasic systems.

Antimicrobial and Surface‑Modification Applications

• Exhibits antimicrobial activity typical of long‑chain imidazolium salts, enabling use in coatings and surface‑treatment studies.
• Supports investigations of membrane interactions and biomolecular self‑assembly.
