Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids: Solvents for Synthesis and Catalysis. 2.

The article presents a review of the study which describes the solvent-solute interactions in room temperature ionic liquids. It focuses on the benefits of using solvents in synthesis and catalysis in ionic liquids on transition metals. The authors contend s that the catalyst determines the outcomes of transition-metal-catalyzed reaction that even the small changes to a ligand can greatly impact catalysis performance.
