Within the last 25 years ionic liquids have written a tremendous success story, which is documented in a nearly uncountable amount of original research papers, reviews, and numerous applications in research and industry. These days, ionic liquids can be considered as a mature class of compounds for many different applications. Frequently, they are used as neoteric solvents for chemical tansformations, and the number of reviews on this field of research is huge. In this focused review, though, we are trying to evaluate the state of the art of ionic liquid chemistry beyond using them simply as solvents for chemical transformations. It is not meant to be a comprehensive overview on the topic; the choice of emphasis and examples rather refects the authors' personal view on the field. We are especially highlighting fields in which we believe the most fundamental developments within the next five years will take place: biomass processing, (chiral) ionic liquids from natural sources, biotransformations, and organic synthesis.
在过去25年里,离子液体书写了一个巨大的成功故事,这在几乎数不清的原创研究论文、综述以及研究和工业中的众多应用中都有记载。如今,离子液体可被视为适用于许多不同应用的一类成熟化合物。它们经常被用作化学转化的新型溶剂,关于这一研究领域的综述数量众多。然而,在这篇重点综述中,我们试图评估离子液体化学的当前水平,而不仅仅是将它们用作化学转化的溶剂。这并非对该主题的全面概述;重点和示例的选择更反映了作者对该领域的个人观点。我们特别强调那些我们认为未来五年将发生最根本发展的领域:生物质加工、天然来源的(手性)离子液体、生物转化和有机合成。
