Are Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents the Missing Link in Understanding Cellular Metabolism and Physiology?[W] (2011, background): “The field of ILs began in 1914, when Paul Walden (Plechkova and Seddon, 2008) reported on the physical properties of ethylammonium nitrate.”
Ionic Liquids as Green Solvents: Progress and Prospects (2012, background): “Plechkova and Seddon estimated that there may be in excess of 10 6 possible ILs if all currently known IL cations and anions were to be paired and as many as 10 18 if all ternary systems were to be investigated [ 90 ] .”
Water-Based Lubricants: Development, Properties, and Performances (2021, background): “However, various combinations of anion and cations are possible to form a particular ionic liquid, and therefore, theoretically, there are 1018 different ionic liquids possible to produce through synthesis [24].”
Ionic liquids: a brief history (2018, background): “A key breakthrough using a room temperature ionic liquid came with the nickel catalysed dimerization of alkenes in ethylaluminium chloride containing ionic liquids (Chauvin et al. 1990), which eventually led to the Institut Français du Pétrole’s Difasol process (Plechkova and Seddon 2008).”
