We examined the antibacterial activities of nanosheets of the graphene analogue tungsten disulphide (WS₂) and a composite of reduced graphene oxide-tungsten disulphide (rGO-WS₂).

The tert-alcohol and ionic liquid solvents in one molecule [mim-^tOH][OMs] was immobilized on polystyrene and reported to be a highly efficient catalyst in aliphatic nucleophilic substitution using alkali metal salts.

An ionic liquid bearing tert-butanol moiety ([mim-^tOH][OMs]) was employed as catalyst in the nucleophilic fluorination of 2-(3-bromopropyloxy)-naphthalene using alkali metal fluorides.
