There will be considerable activity in the optimisation of ion transport parameters within the non-classical electrolyte systems discussed in this section. Future prospects for research in this area are likely to involve combination of aspects of the systans referred to above (e.g. the use of room-temperature ionic liquids in conjunction with ionomers) to achieve improvements in performance of energy storage systems. 

Although the information regarding room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as polymerisation solvents is extensive, there has been very little research published using RTILs as solvents for the synthesis of crosslinked polymers in general (Cooper 2004 Pavlova 2006) and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in particular (Booker et al 2006, 2007 Wang 2006, 2008 He 2008). Herein we examine a model system, cocaine, and will review the properties and performance of imprinted polymers prepared in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with those prepared in RTILs, and the experimental parameters such as polymerisation temperature, solvent volume, rebinding conditions and template-RTIL combination, which may have a role to play in these systems. 

OPLS-AA force field parameters have been created and validated for use in the simulation of 68 unique combinations of room temperature ionic liquids. This was necessary to enable computationally accurate representation of the reactimi medium for use in QM/MM calculatimis [680]. The newly developed foree field parameters were tested for the Kemp eUminatimi of benzisoxazole with piperidine in [BMIMflPFs]. The calculated free energy of activation (25.2 kcal/mol) is in good agreement with the experimental value of 22.6 kcal/mol.

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are intrinsic ionic conductors which have been successfully employed as nonflammable/nonreactive electrolytes in a range of electrochemical devices, including dye-sensitized solar cells [1,2], lithium batteries [3], fuel cells [4], and supercapacitors [5]. The quantification of mass transport is of interest in any solvent, particularly those employed in electrochemical devices, as it affects the ultimate rate/speed at which the device can operate. The diffusivity or diffusion coefficient (D) of a redox active species, along with other thermodynamic parameters such as the bulk concentration (c) and the stoichiometric number of electrons (n) that are of fundamental significance in any study of an electrode reaction, can be determined experimentally using a range of electroanalytical techniques [6], As with any analytical method, the ideal electroanalytical technique for parameter characterization should be accurate, reproducible, selective, and robust. In many respects voltammetric methods meet these requirements, since they can be... 

Abstract This chapter presents the design and analysis of the microscopic features of binary solvent systems formed by ionic liquids, particularly room temperature ionic liqnids with molecular solvents. Protic ionic liquids, ethylammonium nitrate and l-n-butyl-3-methylmidazohum (bmim)-based ILs, were selected considering the differences in their hydrogen-bond donor acidity. The molecular solvents chosen were aprotic polar (acetonitrile, dimethylsulphoxide and MA(-dimethylformide) and protic (different alcohols). The empirical solvatochromic parameters n, a and P were employed in order to analyse the behaviour of each binary solvent system. The study focuses on the identification of solvent mixtures of relevant solvating properties to propose them as new solvents . Kinetic study of aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions carried out in this type of solvent systems is also presented. On the other hand, this is considered as a new approach on protic ionic liquids. Ethylammonium nitrate can act as both Bronsted acid and/or nucleophile. Two reactions (aromatic nucleophilic substitution and nncleophilic addition to aromatic aldehydes) were considered as model reactions. 

The critical parameters (6) exclude immiscibilities in aqueous solutions near room temperature, where T > 0.5. Nevertheless, liquid-liquid coexistence curves were found at such conditions for some tetraalkylammo-nium salts with large cations and large anions [75-77]. In early debates of ionic criticality, this observation led to some confusion. Originally studied near the UCST [77], such gaps later proved to be closed loops with the LCST suppressed by crystallization [72,78]. In one case, the LCST could be reached [79, 80],... 

The CLAP model has permitted access to the molecular properties of ionic liquids through molecular simulation experiments. Before these results could be fully explored, it was necessary to validate the force field parameters by comparing experimental results to the in silico measurements. Ionic liquids have a nonmeasurable vapor pressure at room temperature conditions or indeed for the larger part of their liquid temperature range. This means that the traditional way to validate a molecular... 

In this synthesis, an ionic liquid, l-n.-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydroxide ([BMIMjOH) was dissolved in Co(N03)3-6H20 at room temperature (Scheme 1.2) and, over a 30 min period, both NaOH and H2O2 were added separately to the solution. After a 6h period of stirring, a black-brown precipitate was collected, purified and dried in the oven at 80 °C for 10 h. The ionic liquid was collected and reused. The crystal structure of the resultant C03O4 nanocrystals was determined using XRD analysis, and its composition confirmed by IR spectrometry. The diffraction peaks indicated a cubic spinel system with lattice parameters similar to...
