Nonaqueous ionic liquids have been known for almost one century. In 1914, Paul Walden
described the synthesis and properties of the “first” ionic liquid, ethylammonium nitrate. This …

Polyoxovanadates (POVs), known for their wide applicability and relevance in chemical,
physical and biological sciences, are a subclass of polyoxometalates and usually self …

The tunability of the chemical composition of ionic liquids (ILs), achieved by pairing various
organic cations with numerous anions, allows for fine control of their physicochemical …

In order to obtain the ultra low-sulfur diesel, deep desulfurization of diesel oil has become a
vital subject of environmental catalysis studies. Extraction and catalytic oxidation …

The synthesis, purification and characterization of ionic liquids is reviewed. The major
synthetic routes to low melting ionic salts are described in detail. The intrinsic properties of …

Among ionic liquids, phosphonium-based ionic liquids (PILs) are quite elegant. These
categories of ionic liquids represent some merits over other types of ionic liquids such as …

The application of catalysis to reduced toxicity systems and benign and renewable energy
systems is a central focus area for green chemistry research. It is possible to prepare …

A white colour IL-SiWA hybrid molecular material has been synthesized using 1-butyl 3-
methyl imidazolium bromide ionic liquid and silicotungstic acid. The material is found to …

Pairing of a Keggin or Lindqvist polyoxometalate (POM) anion with an appropriate
tetraalkylphosphonium cation is shown to yield the first members of a new family of ionic …

A new carbon paste electrode is described, which contains the room temperature ionic liquid
(RTIL) tri (tert-butyl)(dodecyl) phosphonium tetrafluoroborate as binder. The advantages of …
