Understand the applications of ionic liquid catalysis with this cutting-edge overview Ionic liquids have distinctive properties that have made them the subject of vigorous research in recent decades. They have primarily been seen as potential green alternatives to volatile organic solvents, and therefore as a vital tool in the development of sustainable industry. In fact, however, ionic liquids can also serve as catalysts, catalyst immobilizers, and initiators, with the result that they have been applied in over 100 known types of chemical reactions. Ionic Liquid Catalyzed Reactions: Green Concepts and Sustainable Applications offers a detailed overview of these reactions and the catalytic mechanism of ionic liquids. It surveys cutting-edge research into ionic liquid catalysis and the concepts, perspectives, and skills needed for scientists to incorporate it into a range of experimental fields. It is a must-own for anyone looking to understand the range and variety of uses for ionic liquid catalysis. Ionic Liquid Catalyzed Reactions readers will also find: Case studies throughout showing ionic liquid catalysis applicationsInformation for scientists working in organic chemistry, electrochemistry, biotechnology, and many moreDetailed coverage of reactions including CO2 conversion, biomass transformation, organic synthesis, and many others Ionic Liquid Catalyzed Reactions is ideal for catalytic chemists, organic chemists, environmental chemists, electrochemists, and anyone else working with chemical catalysis in need of new experimental methods.
