METHODOLOGIES INVOLVING IONIC LIQUIDS SYNTHESIS

ABSTRACT

Ionic Liquids (IL) are salts with at least one organic cation. The term “Ionic Liquid” has been restricted to salts with melting point below 100°C [1]. In the recent years, (ILs) have gained popularity in science and technology. The large number of possible cation/anion combinations allows a great variety of tunable interactions; also their unique properties and characteristics make it a promising and an attractive to work with in several fields. However, how ILs are produced? This paper pretends to make a brief commentary of some of the main methodologies of ILs synthesis.
