Ionic Liquids in Analytical Chemistry

Uses of Ionic Liquids in Analytical Chemistry

Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are salts with melting points close or below room temperature. They form liquids in which ions are present. This fact produces interesting solvent properties. RTIL are able to dissolve some apolar molecules as well as some very polar ones. They start to find original use in chemical analysis. Since some RTILs are not soluble in water, they can be used in w...

Applications of Ionic Liquids in Lignin Chemistry

An analytical view of ionic liquids.

Within the last decade, ionic liquids have come to the fore as environmentally-responsible designer solvents. But what are ionic liquids and what can they offer the analytical scientist? This article addresses these questions and chronicles recent progress made in the application of ionic liquids toward analytical problem-solving. While further progress is required before ionic liquids become m...

Ionic liquids--media for unique phosphorus chemistry.

Ionic liquids have been shown to offer hitherto unseen control as both a storage solvent for PCl3 and POCl3 and reaction media for fluorination and mixed anhydride formation under benign conditions.
