| Zusammenfassung: | Ionic liquids based on doubly charged cations, often termed dicationic ionic liquids (DILs), offer robust physicochemical properties and low toxicity than conventional monocationic ionic liquids. In this design-based study, we used solid-state NMR spectroscopy to provide the interaction mechanism of two DILs, 1,n-bis(3-alkylimidazolium-1-yl) alkane dibromide ([C2n(C7-nIM)2]2+·2Br-, n = 1, 6), with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol) (POPG) phospholipid membranes, to explain the low toxicity of DILs toward HeLa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell lines. Dications with a short linker and long terminal chains cause substantial perturbation to the bilayer structure, making them more membrane permeabilizing, as shown by fluorescence-based dye leakage assays. The structural perturbation is even higher than [C12(MIM)]+ monocations, which carry a single 12-carbon long chain and exhibit a much higher membrane affinity, permeability, and cytotoxicity. These structural details are a crucial contribution to the design strategies aimed at harnessing the biological activity of ionic liquids |
