Benefits and Problems Associated with Using Ionic Liquids in Synthesis 

3 BENEFITS AND PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH USING IONIC 

Ionic liquids have a number of properties that make them suitable media for 

1 They dissolve many metal catalysts, polar organic compounds and gases and can even support biocatalysts. 

2 They have favourable thermal stabilities and operate over large ranges. Most melt below room temperature and only start to decompose above 300 or 400 °C which gives a temperature range three to four times that of water in which to conduct synthesis.
