Ionic liquids (ILs) are often described as “salts that can flow at relatively low temperatures.” Their importance is not only that they can be used as solvents, but that many of their properties can be tuned through structural combinations—making them a genuinely designable platform.
Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are molten salts with melting points well below 100°C. Most RTILs are organic salts with high variability in molecular design . Ionic liquids (ILs) possess many useful properties, including low vapor pressure, broad liquid-state temperature window, high ...
