Catalytic reactions in ionic liquids (ILs) have been examined for at least 20 years; for
example, the first report of the use of an IL as a catalyst in Friedel-Crafts acylation was …

Supported ionic liquids (SILs), which refer to ionic liquids (ILs) immobilized on supports, are
among the most important derivatives of ILs. The immobilization process of ILs can transfer …

Very frequently the most costly components in a chemical reaction are not the starting
materials or the reaction products, but the catalyst. In addition to the advantages from the …
