Ionic liquids (ILs) are a special category of molten salts solely composed of ions with varied
molecular symmetry and charge delocalization. The versatility in combining varied cation …

Much of chemistry is concerned with the study of reactions and processes in solution, that is,
where liquids are used as solvents. 2, 3 The solvent is the (excess) liquid phase in which …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely investigated as novel solvents, electrolytes, and soft
functional materials. Nevertheless, the widespread applications of ILs in most cases have …

This Review covers the recent developments (2005–2015) in the design, synthesis,
characterization, and application of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals. It was designed to give …

In the last few years, ionic liquids (ILs) have been the focus of extensive studies concerning
the relationship between structure and properties and how this impacts their application …

Simple ionic liquids have long been held to be designer solvents, based upon the ability to
independently vary their cations and anions. The formation of mixtures of ionic liquids …

Modern room temperature ionic liquids are structurally defined by symmetries on different
length scales. Polar–apolar alternation defines their nanoscale structural heterogeneity …

The inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution by some imidazolium-based ionic
liquids (ILs), namely 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [EMIM]+[BF 4]−, 1-butyl …

The ability of ionic liquids (ILs) to support amphiphile self-assembly into a range of
mesophase structures has been established as a widespread phenomenon. From the ILs …

Ionic liquids represent an exciting novel class of materials with potentially enormous
applicative impact; they are proposed as environmentally responsible replacements for the …
