Solubility and Solvation in Ionic Liquids

Interest in using ionic liquid (IL) media as alternatives to traditional organic solvents in synthesis [1 ], in liquid/liquid separations from aqueous solutions [5-9], and as liquid electrolytes for electrochemical processes, including electrosynthesis, primarily focus on the unique combination of properties exhibited by ILs that differentiate them from molecular solvents. [Pg.68]

ILs are considered to be polar solvents, but can be non-coordinating (mainly depending on the IL s anion). Solvatochromatic studies indicate that ILs have polarities similar to those of short-chain alcohols and other polar, aprotic solvents [Pg.68]

Extractions and separations in two-phase systems require knowledge of the miscibilities and immiscibilities of ILs with other solvents compatible with the process. These are most usually IL/aqueous biphase systems in which the IL is the less polar phase and organic/IL systems in which the IL is used as the polar phase. In these two-phase systems, extraction both to and from the IL phase is important. [Pg.69]
