• of that of Di [12]. Diosgenin–imidazolium salt derivatives were also synthesized and displayed significant cytotoxic activities against several human cancer cell lines [13]. One of novel 22-oxo-26-selenocyanocholestanic steroids based on Di synthesized by Fernández-Herrera et al. exhibited remarkable

• charged imidazolium dicarboxylate salts [31][32][33][34]. Contrarily to the classical imidazolium salts or ionic liquids used in ionothermal syntheses [35][36][37][38][39][40], the functionalization of imidazolium moieties with coordinating functions reduces the influence of the imidazolium salt on the
