Ionic Liquids in Green Chemistry: Today's Solvent or Tomorrow's Solution?

The recent rapid progress in research on ionic liquids has undoubtedly been stimulated by the rise of green chemistry. The authors' work over the last eight years on ionic liquid-related green chemistry, especially in the areas of synthesis and reactivity, has been reviewed in this Account. Four promising themes have been identified: ionic liquids afford an alternative to the traditional concepts of solid support and organic template, a new approach to liquid phase reactions, novel methods of phase separation, and pushing forword the developments in other areas of green chemistry.

Key words: green chemistry, ionic liquids, soluble nanoclusters, phase separation, liquid-phase reaction
