In this mini review, we give our personal opinion about the present state of the art
concerning Ionic Liquids, proposed as alternative solvents. In particular, we consider their …

Simple ionic liquids have long been held to be designer solvents, based upon the ability to
independently vary their cations and anions. The formation of mixtures of ionic liquids …

Ionic liquid literature is increasingly plagued by unfounded mythologies that have arisen due
to the burgeoning interest in these neoteric materials. This short polemic is designed to bring …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are normally defined as compounds completely composed of ions with
melting point below 100 C. The first IL (ethylammonium nitrate) was reported by Paul …

Ionic liquids are an emerging class of materials with a diverse and extraordinary set of
properties. Understanding the origins of these properties and how they can be controlled by …

Ionic liquids challenge conventional descriptions of fluids in a variety of ways. In the past, it
has been common to oversimplify their behaviour and to ignore the complexity that was …

As highlighted by the recent ChemComm web themed issue on ionic liquids, this field
continues to develop beyond the concept of interesting new solvents for application in the …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have evolved from salts studied primarily for their physical properties (low
melting salts which could be used as solvents) to tunable materials based upon the physical …

A new class of compounds, called as ionic liquids, has recently emerged as potential
substitute for volatile organic solvents. Ionic liquids possess certain special physico …
