Synthesis and Surface Properties of Piperidinium-Based Herbicidal Ionic Liquids as a Potential Tool for Weed Control.

ABSTRACT: A series of piperidinium-based herbicidal ionic liquids (HILs) were synthesized and investigated. The designed HILs, obtained with high yields, consisted of cation 1-alkyl-1-methylpiperidinium with surface activity and a commercially available herbicidal anion: (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxy)benzoates (dicamba). The above-mentioned compounds were characterized in terms of surface activity and phytotoxicity. Preliminary results were obtained at higher wettability for all HILs when compared to the wettability of commercial Dicash, with HIL having 18 atoms in the carbon chain being the best effectiveness in wetting surfaces (weeds and crop leaves), whereby a drop of HILs with short alkyl chains (C₈-C₁₀) could not slide down a leaf. Our findings present that wettability or mobil
