Ionic Liquids for Catalysis

Ionic Liquids have been thoroughly investigated as solvents in most types of catalytic reactions. Their merit lies in the ease with which their physical–chemical properties can be tuned by varying either the anion, the cation, or its substitution pattern.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
