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 …

Our OPLS-2009IL force field parameters (J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2009, 5, 1038–1050)
were originally developed and tested on 68 unique ionic liquids featuring the 1-alkyl-3 …

Vibrational spectroscopy has continued use as a powerful tool to characterize ionic liquids
since the literature on room temperature molten salts experienced the rapid increase in …

OPLS-AA force field parameters have been developed and validated for use in the
simulation of 68 unique combinations of room temperature ionic liquids featuring 1-alkyl-3 …

CO 2 separation plays an important role in energy saving and CO 2 emission reduction, both
of which are necessary to address the issue of global warming. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been …

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 with chlorometallate anions may not have been the first ionic liquids, however, it
was their development that lead to the recognition that ionic liquids are a distinct, and useful …

Ionic liquids are an emerging class of materials with a diverse and extraordinary set of
properties. Understanding the origins of these properties and how they can be controlled by …
