Advances in the field of ionic liquids have opened new applications beyond their traditional use as solvents into other fields especially healthcare. The broad chemical space, rich with structurally diverse ions, and coupled with the flexibility to form complementary ion pairs enables task-specific optimization at the molecular level to design ionic liquids for envisioned functions. Consequentl...

Within the last 25 years ionic liquids have written a tremendous success story, which is documented in a nearly uncountable amount of original research papers, reviews, and numerous applications in research and industry. These days, ionic liquids can be considered as a mature class of compounds for many different applications. Frequently, they are used as neoteric solvents for chemical tansform...

Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted many researchers in the areas including physics and chem‐ istry because of their characteristics that are different from conventional molecular liquids and, today, ILs have been one of interesting subjects of scientific study. ILs are consisted of ions and liquids at or near room temperature, and show negligible vapor pressure, thermal and chemical properties,...

This review simply and systematically summarizes the general trend between chemical structure toxicity of ionic liquids across biological species. It also provides strategies for development low-toxicity liquids.

Layers occur when insoluble liquids meet each other such as water and oil. The monitoring of the interfaces among various liquid layers are of paramount importance for chemistry purifications, liquids storage in reservoirs, oil transportation, and chemical engineering. However, studies for layered liquid detection are limited. Visible examination has been used as a common practice to distinguis...

Ionic liquids discovery has celebrated 100 years. They consist solely of ions, one of which is typically organic and asymmetrical. Remarkable physical and chemical properties stirred their use as alternative solvents in many chemical processes. The recent demonstration of their occurrence in nature might boost their interest in biological sciences. In the search of mechanistic understandings of...

Over the past decade, a variety of ionic liquids have emerged as greener solvents for use in the chemical manufacturing industries. Their unique properties have attracted the interest of chemists worldwide to employ them as replacement for conventional solvents in a diverse range of chemical transformations including biotransformations. Biocatalysts are often regarded as green catalysts compare...

Ionic liquids − defined as salts with a melting point below 100 ◦C – date back to 1914, when Paul Walden reported on [C2H5NH3][NO3], a salt with a melting point of +12 ◦C. While Walden was surely ahead of his time, ionic liquids made an impressive development during the last 10 years. This is due to their unique portfolio of properties: high temperature stability (in favourable cases up to 400 ...

The irradiation of liquids with high-intensity ultrasound causes chemical reactions to occur (1–6), often with the emis

We thoroughly investigated the biological, structural and chemical stability of epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibody (EGFR mAb) using choline-based buffered ionic liquids (BILs). The results demonstrated substantially enhanced stabilities in our BILs, indicating their huge promise as real-world green biological buffers for antibody storage and transportation.
