“…The IL, [Emim][NTf 2 ], is a colorless and highly soluble liquid in polar organic solvents and has a wide variety of applications such as an industrial solvent, in organic synthesis, and in separation and polymer technology due to its hydrophobic nature, low viscosity, and chemical stability. , However, 2-propoxyethanol (2-PE), called propyl cellosolve or ethylene glycol monopropyl ether, is an oily odorless and colorless liquid. As 2-PE has both alcoholic (−OH) and ether (−O−) parts in its structure, it has proton accepting and donating ability, which makes it possible to form intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. , The chemical and physical properties exhibited by 2-propoxyethanol resulting from its self-linked-structure-like alcohols permit one to mix it with aprotic and protic solvents. The 2-propoxyethanol with aqueous solutions and the pure form used as a solvent for varnishes and inks, hydraulic fluid as a raw material for synthetic pesticides, and electrolytes. , Further, the 2-PE is completely soluble in majority of the ILs and also soluble in ether and water at all temperatures and pressures.…”
