Ionic liquids are compatible with on-water catalysis.
A major limitation of on-water catalysis has been the need for liquid reactants to enable emulsification. We demonstrate that ionic liquids are compatible with on-water catalysis, enabling on-water catalysed reactions for otherwise unreactive solid-solid systems. The unique solvation properties of ionic liquids dramatically expands the scope of on-water catalysis.
