Abstract

Imidazolium cations, such as those commonly used in preparing ionic liquids (ILs) can easily be derivatized to include task-specific functionality, such as metal ligating groups that when used as part of the solvent or doped into less expensive ILs, dramatically enhance the partitioning of targeted metal ions into the IL phase from water; the strategy of preparing task-specific ILs is applicable to a wide range of designer solvent needs.
