Chapter 7 Transition Metal Complexes in Imidazolium Ionic Liquids as Recoverable and Reusable Homogeneous Catalysts

摘要

Dissolving in imidazolium ionic liquids transition metal complexes that are successful catalysts in conventional solvents is a very simple strategy to convert a non-recoverable into a reusable catalytic system. Depending on the nature of the imidazolium and the counter anions, these catalytic systems in imid azolium ionic melts also show promise as medium for enantioselective reactions.
