What are Ionic Liquids
Common Definition
Ionic Liquids (ILs) is the generic term for a class of materials, consisting
entirely of ions and being liquid below 100°C.

Functionality
Stability
About 1000 ILs are described in the literature, 300 are
commercially available.
Fluorous ILs are immiscible
with both organic and aqueous
solvents.
1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate
•A viscous, colourles, hydrophobic
and non-water soluble ionic liquid.
•Melting Point:10˚C
Discovery and History
Paul Walden
• Era of ionic liquids -began in the eighteen
hundreds- Gabriel & Weiner reported an ionic
liquid
• First ionic liquid: ethyl ammonium nitrate (1914,
Paul Walden)
* The first room temperature ionic liquid -1951
• N-ethylpyridinium bromide- aluminium chloride melt
* The most stable and conductive salts -
1982
• 1,3-dialkylimidazolium salts
* The hydrophobic ionic liquids -
1992
• 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate
