Hydrophobic Brønsted acid-base ionic liquids based on PAMAM dendrimers with high proton conductivity and blue photoluminescence

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Sep 21;127(37):12784-5. doi: 10.1021/ja053965x.

Abstract

A simple strategy has been described to synthesize a novel hydrophobic Brønsted acid-base ionic liquid based on a PAMAM dendrimer. The resulting ionic liquid is highly fluorescent and proton conductive with great potential for sensors and nonaqueous proton-conducting electrolytes.
