Abstract

We present the activation of hydrogen peroxide by micellar imidazolium nitratesviaH-bond formation in water, as shown by vibrational spectroscopy and supported by DFT calculations. Mechanistic insight into the interactions of the surfactant cation, the nitrate anion and H2O2is given. The micelles solubilise and epoxidise cyclooctene in the aqueous phase.
