The dramatic acceleration effect of imidazolium ionic liquids on electron transfer reactions.
Imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) exhibited a dramatic acceleration effect on the electron transfer from metal complexes such as (C(5)Me(5))(2)Fe(II) and (C(5)Me(5))(2)Co(II) to the oxygen molecule; this acceleration effect can be ascribed to the stabilization of the oxygen radical anions by coordinating with the acidic C2-H of imidazolium ILs.
