Ionic liquids green chemistry applications

It is of great interest to study nanopartides in ionic liquids, primarily for applications in electrochemistry and catalysis, as they display advantages in comparison to polymer stabilized nanopartides. These advantages lie, e.g., in the stabilization mechanism, the relative ease of adjusting the properties of the nanoparticle-ionic liquid system, as well as aspects associated with green chemistry. The applicability of nanoparticle suspensions...

We have tried to cover important aspects of the physical chemistry of the ionic liquids currently under study, and to relate them to what is known about other types of low-melting ionic media. In concluding, we must emphasize that much of the success in their application, particularly in the Green Chemistry area where there is hope they will replace volatile solvents of environmentally hostile character, will depend on the important chemical properties of these media. These we have not addressed at all in this chapter. Properties such as donor and acceptor character, acidity and basicity, are in fact aU within the capacity of physics to describe, though they are most commonly invoked in a more empirical manner based on experience, as described in [1—4]. An excellent treatment of acid base character of ionic liquids has recently been given by MacFarlane and Forsyth [45].
