Abstract

With near-exponential growth in the number of reports in the area, room temperature ionic liquids have become the poster child for Green Chemistry. From an industrial standpoint, however, the replacement of current organic solvents is a protracted and uncertain one. Current impediments to their broader use include the lack of toxicological knowledge as well as a paucity in knowledge about solvent dynamics, diffusive processes, and biomolecular structure within ionic liquids. Here, we introduce experimental approaches to the study of 1) probe translational mobility 2) solute self-assembly and 3) protein thermal stability, all within ionic liquids.
