1. Ionic liquids and green chemistry

Aspects relating to the synthesis of ionic liquids have already been covered in this document base, along with the main physico-chemical data [1][2] . The reader is invited to supplement this information by reading the two references mentioned above, as well as the recently republished book covering all processes and applications involving ionic liquids [3][4] . The prestigious "ACS Symposium Series" has recently been expanded to include a volume devoted to the specific topic covered in this article [5]...
