Common solvents and Ionic liquids
Definition: An ionic liquid is a liquid that contains essentially only ions. Often
refers only to liquids with m.p. below 0C (room temperature ionic liquids).
Solvents
Protic
C2H5OH, H2O
Aprotic
Polar
CHCl3, CH3CN
Non-polar
C6H14, C6H6
Ionic Liquids
Consist
of no ions
Only small part of solvent is
ionized by disassociation
Consist of only ions

Cation is responsible for physical properties (melting point, viscosity, density).
Anion controls chemical properties and reactivity

Immiscibility with common solvents
Advantages of biphasic systems:
•Easy separation
•Faster reactions
•Higher conversion or yields
•Less by-products
11
Other interesting properties
•Very low vapor pressure
•Non-flammable substances
•High thermally stable
•High mechanically stable
•Electrochemically stable
All properties can be tuned by varying types of cations and its
combination with anion

Comparison of organic solvents with ionic liquids
Property Organic Solvents Ionic Liquid
Number of solvents >1000 >1,000,000
Applicability Single function Multifunction
Catalytic ability Rare Common and tuneable
Chirality Rare Common and tuneable
Vapour pressureObeys the Clausius–
Clapeyron equation
Negligible vapour pressure under normal
conditions
Flammability Usually flammable Usually nonflammable
PolarityConventional polarity
concepts applyPolarity concept questionable
TuneabilityLimited range of solvents
available
Virtually unlimited range means
‘‘designer solvents’’
Cost Normally cheapTypically between 2 and 100 times the
cost of organic solvents
Recyclability Green imperative Economic imperative
Viscosity, cP 0.2–100 22–40,000
Density, g/cm3 0.6–1.7 0.8–3.3
Refractive index 1.3–1.6 1.5–2.2

Separation of the catalysts is a major concern
Solution: catalyst immobilized on Ionic Liquid
As a result:
Biphasic system
Better selectivity
Catalyst now is recyclable
