AB  - The application of liquids that are salts at room temperature to chemicals synthesis has become a hugely exciting field of study. Thousands of papers are now generated each year and several industrial chemicals processes are now running. The greatest promise that these ionic liquids hold is that they might offer process advantages, even novel behaviors that cannot be achieved in molecular solvents. However, until now no behavior that is unique to ionic liquids has been observed. For such an "ionic liquid effect" to be seen it would need to be the result of the medium being composed solely of ions in motion. We have been searching for an ionic liquid effect, which we can now report here, for most the last decade. We demonstrate that when two dissolved salts react with each other in ionic liquids they follow a fundamentally different pathway to when the same salts react in any molecular solvent. ©The Electrochemical Society.
