Ionic liquids (ILs) have been one of the most interesting chemical entities over the last two decades and have been investigated by numerous scientists all over the world. However, during IL research, it has been shown that these compounds present toxicity to both terrestrial and aquatic plants, among others. The phytotoxicity of ILs depends on the type of cation, the length of the alkyl chain in the substituent or enantioselectivity, on the concentration used, and, it appears that the type of anion may also have an impact on toxicity. The toxic effects of ILs on plants also depend on the conditions under which such tests are conducted. The results may help facilitate the development of protective environmental measures against IL-induced negative effects, but they may also be used in various landscape-related areas, such as herbology, to design new substances with weed killing properties.
离子液体 (ILs) 是过去二十年中最有趣的化学实体之一，吸引了世界各地众多科学家的研究。然而，在 IL 研究过程中，已经表明这些化合物对陆地和水生植物等具有毒性。ILs 的植物毒性取决于阳离子类型、取代基中烷基链的长度或对映选择性、所用浓度，并且似乎阴离子的类型也可能对毒性有影响。ILs 对植物的毒性作用也取决于进行此类测试的条件。这些结果可能有助于制定针对 IL 诱导的负面影响的保护环境措施，但也可用于各种与景观相关的领域，如杂草学，以设计具有除草特性的新物质。
