Supported Ionic Liquid Phase (SILP) Catalysis: An Innovative Concept for Homogeneous Catalysis in Continuous Fixed‐Bed Reactors

Supported ionic liquid phase catalysis on functionalized carbon nanotubes.

Highly active rhodium catalysts have been prepared by immobilization of an ionic liquid film on carbon nanotubes functionalized with imidazolium-based ionic moieties.

Ionic liquid (molten salt) phase organometallic catalysis.

For economical and ecological reasons, synthetic chemists are confronted with the increasing obligation of optimizing their synthetic methods. Maximizing efficiency and minimizing costs in the production of molecules and macromolecules constitutes, therefore, one of the most exciting challenges of synthetic chemistry.1-3 The ideal synthesis should produce the desired product in 100% yield and s...

Homogeneous Catalysis Homogeneous Catalysis

Homogeneous ruthenium-based water-gas shift catalysts via supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) technology at low temperature and ambient pressure.

Novel ruthenium-based supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) catalysts for the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction are reported which, compared to classical low temperature shift systems, operate at much lower temperatures and even at ambient pressure.

Ionic Liquid-Based Microemulsions in Catalysis

The design and properties of surface-active ionic liquids that are able to form stable microemulsions with heptane and water are presented, and their promise as reaction media for thermomorphic palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions is demonstrated.
