Luminescent lanthanide complexes with liquid crystalline properties
TL;DR: The first examples of liquid crystalline lanthanide complexes in which the mesomorphism is introduced via a β -diketonate ligand were presented in this article. But they were not shown to exhibit photoluminescence.

Lanthanide(III)-Induced Conversion of 12-Metallacrown-4 to 5-Metallacrown-5 Complexes in Solution
Antoine Pacco,Tatjana N. Parac-Vogt,Els Van Besien,Kristine Pierloot,Christiane Görller-Walrand,Koen Binnemans +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the conversion of 12-metallacrown-4 complexes with copper(II) ion in the central cavity to 15-metallic crown-5 complexes with trivalent lanthanide ions was analyzed in solution by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry.

Combined multi-step precipitation and supported ionic liquid phase chromatography for the recovery of rare earths from leach solutions of bauxite residues
Dženita Avdibegović,Bengi Yagmurlu,Carsten Dittrich,Mercedes Regadío,Bernd Friedrich,Koen Binnemans +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, rare-earth elements (REEs) were efficiently recovered by a supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) after iron(III) precipitation from simulated bauxite residue (BR) leachates in sulfuric acid media, since leaching of BR with sulphuric acid is more feasible than leaching with other mineral acids.

Alkylsulfuric acid ionic liquids: a promising class of strongly acidic room-temperature ionic liquids.
TL;DR: The strong acidity, easy synthesis, and better physical properties of these R-OSO3H ILs make them excellent alternatives to the well-known sulfonic acid (R-SO3H) ILs, especially in the domain of metal processing.

Decarboxylation of a Wide Range of Amino Acids with Electrogenerated Hypobromite
TL;DR: Bromide-assisted electrochemical decarboxylation efficiently produces valuable nitriles in high yields from a wide range of naturally occurring amino acids in a single step as discussed by the authors. But, the selectivity of the decar boxylation can be tuned towards Nitriles, amines or amides.
