1-Benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide is a salt of an organometallic cation and a halide anion. It has been shown to be a potent antioxidant and antimicrobial agent that can be used for the treatment of plant cells. 1-Benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by releasing hydrogen peroxide, which in turn damages DNA and protein. 1-Benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide is stable in air, water, and organic solvents, making it useful as a treatment method for samples such as plant cells. It is typically prepared from reticulata extract or nanomaterials such as titanium dioxide. The reaction time needed to obtain maximum optical properties can vary depending on the analytical methods used (e.g., diffraction, chemical stability).
