Our group is known for its activity in the area of ionic liquids (ILs). Ionic liquids are simply salts that melt at low temperatures, “low” usually being construed to be < 100 oC.
Our main thrust areas at the moment involve ongoing work to use ILs as aids in chemical separations, especially those involving gasses.
A very recent addition to our research portfolio involves the identification, isolation, and characterization of naturally occurring ionic liquids.
