Ionic Liquids

Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts being liquid at room temperature or at least below 100 °C and have been extensively used in organic synthesis. They possess a number of properties which makes them different from traditional organic solvents. In recent years, a great number of task-specific functional ionic liquids were synthesized for different purposes. We synthesized a series of guanidine based ILs and studied their effect on the catalytic performance in a number of reactions.
