Cyclopropanated Lipid-Like Ionic Liquids

Abstract

Interest regarding ionic liquids have emerged due to their non-volatility, non-flammability, and thermodynamic stability. Inspired by homeoviscous adaptation, recent developments of “lipid-like� structures containing cyclopropyl motifs resulted in the depression of melting point to be used in various applications. With imidazole-based ionic liquids previously studied, the synthesis and use of triazole-based motifs are still in question. Herein, we will begin to look into synthetic strategies for triazole-based lipid-like ionic liquids containing cyclopropyl substituents in order to achieve new physical and chemical properties.
