Rational selection of the cation of an ionic liquid to control the reaction outcome of a substitution reaction

A range of ionic liquids was examined as solvents for a substitution reaction. They were chosen through rationally varying the ionic liquid cation in order to enhance the rate constant. Access to charge and electron-withdrawing substituents benefitted rat

Understanding the effects of solvate ionic liquids as solvents on substitution processes

The effects of solvate ionic liquids as solvents have been considered for two substitution processes where the solvent effects of typical ionic liquids have been extensively investigated previously; the bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN
