Abstract: A hypergolic co-crystal material for producing a hypergol when combined with an oxidizer; it has co-crystals composed at least of a hypergolic trigger component and an energetic coformer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for dissolving metals in perhalide containing ionic liquids, and to the extraction of metals from mineral ores; the remediation of materials contaminated with heavy, toxic or radioactive metals; and to the removal of heavy and toxic metals from hydrocarbon streams.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods of preparing compositions of active herbicidal ingredients comprising two or more active herbicidal ingredients. Also disclosed are methods of using the compositions described herein to reduce herbicide resistance and minimize off-target movement. The present disclosure relates to compositions of herbicidal ionic liquids comprising one or more active herbicide ingredients and methods of making and using such ionic liquids. In some aspects, the herbicidal ionic liquids with multiple active herbicide ingredients can be prepared as separate ionic liquids, each with a single active, and later combined.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel process for the preparation of chalcogenone compounds by conversion of ionic liquids and salts comprising nitrogen-containing heterocyclic cations and basic anions to the corresponding nitrogen-containing heterocyclic chalcogenones by reaction with elemental chalcogens.

Abstract: Cellulose is dissolved in an ionic liquid without derivatization, and is regenerated in a range of structural forms without requiring the use of harmful or volatile organic solvents. Cellulose solubility and the solution properties can be controlled by the selection of the ionic liquid constituents, with small cations and halide or pseudohalide anions favoring solution.

Abstract: A regenerated cellulose-encapsulated active substance and a method for encapsulating an active substance in a regenerated cellulose matrix are disclosed. The distribution of the active substance is preferably substantially homogeneous within the matrix of regenerated cellulose. The regenerated cellulose (i) has about the same molecular weight as the original cellulose from which it is prepared (ii) is substantially free of added substituent groups relative to the starting cellulose and is also substantially free of entrapped ionic liquid degradation products.
