The current state of research in the fast burgeoning field of ionic
liquids is described in the chapters of this work, each of them written
by a specialist in the field. Synthesis, quality aspects of commercial
production, melting points and phase diagrams, viscosity and density,
solubility and solvation, gas solubilities, polarity, molecular
structure and dynamics, and organic synthesis are among the topics of
Volume One. The second volume continues the discussion of organic
synthesis with sections on transition metal catalysis, multiphasic
reactions and supported ionic liquid phase catalysts. The four remaining
sections describe aspects of inorganic synthesis, polymer synthesis,
biocatalytic reactions, and industrial applications. The material will
be of interest to advanced graduate students and researchers in
chemistry. Welton is at the Imperial College of Science in London, the
UK; Wasserscheid is at the Friedrich-Alexander U. in Erlangen-Nuremberg,
Germany.
