Abstract
While
ionic liquids constitute promising alternatives to traditional molecular
solvents, they are limited in their applicability, since the outcome of
reactions may be altered on moving from a molecular to an ionic solvent. Authors
describe their progress towards a predictive framework by studying how ionic
solvents affect organic processes.
They focus on the importance of the mole fraction of the ionic
liquid used, including some hitherto undisclosed results, as well as the
importance of understanding the key interactions of the solvent with the
components along the reaction coordinate.
