Latter have been further explored for their potential antimicrobial activity against E coli and Bacillus. The ionic liquid used was recycled in the end and its recovery was facilitated by water. Use of water was beneficial in terms of avoiding organic solvents, providing facile recovery of the products and affording the recycling of the catalyst.}, number={3}, journal={Iranian Journal of Catalysis}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Gupta, Neeraj and Bhardwaj, Pushpa and Sharma, Gaurav}, year={2024}, month={Feb.}, keywords={Indoles, Bis(indolyl)methanes, Ionic Liquids, Aqueous media, N-ethylpyridinium hydrogen sulfate.} }
