Aromatic nitration in liquid Ag0.51K0.42Na0.07NO3.
Aromatic molecules have a strong affinity for silver(I) and dissolve to a limited extent in Ag 0.51K 0.42Na 0.07NO 3, a low-melting eutectic mixture of silver, potassium, and sodium nitrates. Aromatic nitration in this inorganic ionic liquid leads to products which arise from nonelectrophilic substitution pathways.
