Benzene centered tripodal imidazolium (BTI) system: Emerged towards multidisciplinary research and development

The effect of substituents and their positions on a series of disubstituted naphthalene bromide salts towards intermolecular interactions and crystal packing

“…Br1 is situated close to the positively charged imidazole interacting with the three C–H bonds around the rings forming multiple intermolecular C–H⋯Br interactions expressed in the form of bond distances between C and Br atoms (C7⋯Br1 = 3.63 Å, C8⋯Br1 = 3.71 Å and C9⋯Br1 = 3.73 Å). It is noteworthy that Br1 is more attracted to H7–C7 of the imidazole rings which have been identified as highly acidic protons due to the delocalised positive charge 25 which explains the shorter hydrogen bond distance found in compound 1 . This hypothesis is confirmed by reports which show that the majority of the host–guest interactions of varying halides and functional groups occur between the acidic proton (C 2 –H) of the imidazole ring and anion through (C–H) + ⋯X − (X − = halides) H-bonds.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Imidazole Based Cationic Surfactants as Disinfectants

“…The synthesized surfactant possesses properties which can be altered by either changing the hydrophobic moiety or by changing the link between hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. There are many methods which have been practiced for the synthesis of cationic-based surfactant [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] . However, the choice of a method is determined with the purpose of synthesized surfactant being biodegradable, cheap, and renewable.…”

Structure–antitumor activity relationships of tripodal imidazolium-amino acid based salts. Effect of the nature of the amino acid, amide substitution and anion

“…27 More recently, a series of tripodal imidazolium salts have been evaluated as antibacterial and anticancer agents providing a new and interesting approach for new bioactive systems. 28,29 In this context, our research group has been involved in the preparation of imidazolium based compounds derived from amino acids. [30][31][32][33][34] Therefore, continuing with our previous work related with L-valine imidazolium tripodal salts, 34 and the evaluation of ditopic and monotopic imidazolium salts derived from amino acids as antibacterial agents, 35 we present here the synthesis of different tripodal imidazolium salts derived from amino acids and the evaluation of the synergetic effects between their lipophobicity and anticancer activity.…”
