In the late 1990s, there was an explosion of research on ionic
liquids and they are now a major topic of academic and industrial
interest with numerous existing and potential applications. Since
then, the number of scientific papers focusing on ionic liquids has
risen exponentially, including a few edited multi-author books
covering the latest advances in ionic liquids chemistry and several
volumes of symposium proceedings. Much of the content in these
books and volumes is written using technical jargon that only
scientists at the cutting edge of ionic liquids research will
understand and ionic liquids are hardly covered in most modern
chemistry textbooks. This is the first single-author book on ionic
liquids and the first introductory book on the topic. It is written
in a clear, concise and consistent way. The book provides a useful
introduction to ionic liquids for those readers who are not
familiar with the topic. It is also wide ranging, embracing every
aspect of the chemistry and applications of ionic liquids. The book
draws extensively on the primary scientific literature to provide
numerous examples of research on ionic liquids. These examples will
enable the reader to become familiar with the key developments in
ionic liquids chemistry over recent years. The book provides an
introduction to: ionic liquids; their nomenclature; history;
physical, chemical and biological properties; and their wide
ranging uses and potential applications in catalysis,
electrochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analysis,
biotechnology, green chemistry and clean technology. Notable and
important chapters include "The Green Credentials of Ionic Liquids"
and "Biotechnology." The chapter on "Applications" includes
sections with brief descriptions of recent research on the
development of ionic liquids: - for the construction of a liquid
mirror for a moon telescope - for use as rocket propellants - for
use as antimicrobial agents that combat MRSA - as active
pharmaceutical ingredients and antiviral drugs - for embalming and
tissue preservation Science students, researchers, teachers in
academic institutions and chemists and other scientists in industry
and government laboratories will find the book an invaluable
introduction to one of the most rapidly advancing and exciting
fields of science and technology today.
