A Structural Study of the Amino Acid Ionic Liquids via Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts with melting points at or below 100°C . These compounds have been accepted as a new green chemical revolution due to their potential and various characteristics such as an extremely low vapor pressure, which excited both the academia and the chemical industries. They are used as a reaction media because enhanced reaction rates and caused high level selectivities. ILs are suitable solvents and inert electrolytes for many electrochemical applications. They used as a low temperature waterfree electrolyte, and also used for separation, purification, and extraction purposes. Room temperature ionic liquids have been utilized as a clean solvent and unique catalysist for green chemistry and photochemistry.[1]
