Ionic liquids are becoming widely recognized as solvents for 'green' synthesis because they have no measurable vapor pressure and show significant improvements in reaction rate, yield, and selectivity.[...]
For many years, the related fields of molten salts and ionic liquids have drifted apart, to their mutual detriment. Both molten salts and ionic liquids are liquid salts containing only ions - all that is different is the temperature! Both fields involve the study of Coulombic fluids for academic and[...]
