Ionic Liquids in Biotransformations and Organocatalysis is the first book to provide a multidisciplinary approach and overview of the fundamentals of ionic liquids and their interaction with proteins in diverse applications such as paint additives, reactive gas transport, nanomaterials synthesis, and hydrogen storage. A one-stop reference on the state of the art of biocatalysis in ionic liquids Owing to their remarkable properties, ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as a promising solution for biotransformations and organocatalysis. This book provides a much-needed multidisciplinary review of this field, highlighting current and potential applications in organic chemistry, electrochemistry, catalysis, physical chemistry, and engineering. Written by world-class authorities on ILs, Ionic Liquids in Biotransformations and Organocatalysis covers both fundamentals and practical applications. Contributed chapters examine ILs' interactions with proteins and enzymes as well as current uses in biotransformations, then go on to explore state-of-the-art IL applications. A key feature of this book is its emphasis on non-solvent applications. In addition to addressing ILs as solvents and co-catalysts, it covers a wide range of non-solvent uses, such as performance additives, a tool for process engineering, whole-cell processes, organocatalyst immobilization, and many more. Up-to-date information on the toxicity of ILs for microorganisms is also included. Several chapters discuss their promising uses for green technology and emerging deep-eutectic solvents, and numerous examples further illustrate the tremendous potential of this technology. Chemists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, biotechnologists, crystallographers, and electrochemists will find Ionic Liquids in Biotransformations and Organocatalysis an indispensable reference work for this rapidly evolving field.
