Greener Ionic Liquids

A greener-still class of room temperature ionic liquids to replace toxic and flammable organic solvents has been devised by German chemists.
As has been reported previously many times, ionic liquids could make very useful replacements for volatile organic compounds because of their negligible vapour pressure and other factors, such as lack of flammability. However, most of [...]
