Ionic Liquids: Greener Solvents for Sustainable Chemistry
暫譯: 離子液體：可持續化學的綠色溶劑

離子液體是當溫度低於 100 °C (212 °F) 時通常處於液相的有機鹽。它們不易燃且具有非常低的蒸氣壓，這使得它們成為有機溶劑的環保替代品。與離子液體進行的化學反應可以更有效率，產生更少的廢物和污染，降低能源消耗，提供更安全的製造過程，並減少資源使用。

本書專注於離子液體及其應用。書中首先介紹離子液體、它們的結構和性質，以及它們的合成和表徵方法，接著回顧與離子液體的合成方法，然後探討它們在各個領域的工業應用，最後介紹該領域的新興發展。
