Recent Progress on Electrochemical Application of Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids

Measurement of the Thermal Conductivity of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium l-Tryptophan + Water + Ethanol Mixtures at T = (283.15 to 333.15) K

“…Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted widespread attention in recent years as environmental friendly solvents and have been utilized in extraction, gas absorption, chemical catalysis, and other fields because of their negligible vapor pressure, higher thermal stability, good solubility, and adjustable structure. − Thermal conductivity is the measurement of the heat transfer ability of materials, and the study of thermal conductivity is significant for the scale-up and industrialization of the chemical engineering process, as for the application of ILs. − The hot wire method is an important technique for thermal conductivity measurements, which was considered to be the most stable and accurate method for fluid measurements. − For example, Tomida et al studied the thermal conductivities of several kinds of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with different alkyl chain lengths by the hot wire method and the pressure dependences of the thermal conductivity of ILs. Castro et al measured the thermal conductivities of several kinds of alkyl-methyl­imidazolium ionic liquids and corresponding IoNanofluids composed of ionic liquids with a few multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) dispersed.…”

Hexyltriphenylphosphonium Bromide as an Absolutely Chemoselective Ionic Liquid Catalyst in the Three‐Component Reaction of Aryl Aldehydes, Acetophenones and Malononitrile

“…Since they are non‐flammable, non‐volatile and recyclable, they are categorized as green solvents . Because of their remarkable properties, such as negligible vapor pressure, thermal stability and their tunable properties by suitable choices of cations and anions, they are considered favorable medium candidates for chemical syntheses and receive an increasing popularity among organic chemists …”
