  Preparation of butene polymers using an ionic liquid - Patent 5304615
It is known to use these ionic liquids as solvents and as catalysts for the dimerization and /or oligomerization of olefins such as ethylene, propylene, butene-1 and/or butene-2 and for the alkylation of benzene using alkyl halides.
The component (b) in the ionic liquid is suitably a hydrocarbyl substituted imidazolium halide or a hydrocarbyl substituted pyridinium halide, especially the 1-alkyl-3-alkylinudazolium halides, the 1-alkyl pyridinium halides and the alkylene pyridinium dihalides.
Typically, the relative mole ratio of aluminium compound to the component (b) in the ionic liquid is suitably in the range from 1:1 to 2:1, preferably from 1.5:1 to 2:1.

 Enzymes coated with ionic liquid - Patent 7005282
The ionic liquid-coated enzyme according to the present invention remarkably improves enzyme functions, such as enantioselectivity and stability, when the enzyme which may be lipase is coated with an ionic liquid.
Using the ionic liquid-coated enzyme as a catalyst, an optical isomer having a high enantiomeric excess (optical purity) is prepared by the enantioselective acylation of one enantiomer of a racemic compound.
The reaction solvent to be used in the reaction of an ionic liquid-coated enzyme with a racemic compound is preferably, but is not limited to, toluene, ether or hexane which does not dissolve the ionic liquid, since the yield and enantioselectivity of enzyme-catalyzed reaction is generally affected by solvent.

 Ionic Liquidsreview
In general, ionic liquids consist of a salt where one or both the ions are large, and have a low degree of symmetry.
Ionic liquids come in two main categories, namely simple salts (made of a single anion and cation) and binary ionic liquids (salts where an equilibrium is involved).
In particular, a number of ionic liquids have been found to be hydrophobic (immiscible with water), but readily dissolve many organic molecules, with the exception of alkanes and alkylated aromatic compounds such as toluene.

 NPL: Ionic Liquids
The extended uptake of ionic liquids is constrained by wide-ranging limitations in toxicological, physical and chemical property information that stem from an absence of relevant underpinning measurement methods and predictive tools.
The term ‘ionic liquids’, although generic, is primarily applied to organic salts that are fluid at relatively low temperatures, less than 100 °C. The cations are typically big, bulky and asymmetric (see below), limiting their packing in a crystal and giving the low melting point.
Ionic liquids (or low temperature molten organic salts) form potentially the basis of a new industrial technology that could revolutionalise chemical processing as well as impact on many other industries; indeed, radical changes are already underway.
