A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11912953B2) discloses a lubricating oil composition that includes one or more base oils and one or more ionic liquids. These ionic liquids consist of cations and Group 6 metal mononuclear metallate anions, with the latter containing at least one metal sulfur bond. The composition can further include molybdenum within the Group 6 metal mononuclear metallate anions, with a charge of -2, and ligated to four atoms around the central metal atom.

Moreover, the lubricating oil composition may contain specific cations such as quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, or sulphonium cations, each with distinct alkyl or alkenyl group configurations. The ionic liquids in the composition are required to be liquid at temperatures above 50°C and have minimal halide content, or be completely halide-free. Additionally, the composition excludes urea or substituted urea thickeners and can have a range of additives like pour point additives, anti-foaming agents, and antioxidants. This patented lubricating oil composition is designed for use in spark ignition or compression ignition engines, offering a unique combination of base oils, ionic liquids, and additives to enhance lubrication performance and engine efficiency.
