Abstract :

Task-Specific Ionic Liquids (TSILs) or functionalized ionic liquids are a unique subclass of conventional ionic liquids that incorporate an ion-tethered functionality tailored for specific applications ranging from organic synthesis and metal extraction to material and pharmaceutical sciences.The introductions of functional groups on cations and/or anions allow for marked changes of the physicochemical properties of ionic liquids and convey a particular reactivity pattern to them.Since functional groups on TSILs are generally heteroatom-based, the challenge is to develop highly efficient, atom-economical and orthogonal methodologies, such as "click" chemistry. Underlying these synthetic goals is the additional desire to develop scalable reactions that fall within the philosophical realm of green chemistry for the synthesis of ionic liquids. In addition, it has been a challenge to design imidazoliumtype ionic liquids (the most common IL class) that incorporate progressively more lipophilic structural elements while maintaining melting points below room temperature. The Tm values of these ILs increases significantly once an appended N-alkyl group exceeds seven carbons in length.To further develop task-specific ionic liquids, the exploitation of robust, efficient and orthogonal "click" reactions is desirable.The authorwill discuss about the â�?�?clickâ�? chemistry-mediated syntheses of bio-inspired functionalized ionic liquids. The synthetic methodology will be discussed, as well as the impact of these structural modifications upon ionic liquid melting points and computational insights into their basis.
