Probing the Solvation Properties of Ionic Liquids

HOT article from FD154!

The recent Faraday Discussion 154 on Ionic Liquids took place at Queen’s University, Belfast.

Margarida Costa Gomes presented her group’s work on the solubility and thermodynamics of solvation of ethane and n-butane in various ionic liquids. The authors found that the alkanes were more soluble in ILs with longer alkyl chains and observed preferential solvation in the non-polar part of the ILs.
