Synthesis and dissolving power of 1-Alkyl-3-methylpyridinium-based ionic liquids

Abstract

1-Alkyl-3-methylpyridinium-based ionic liquids with substituents from C2 to C10 and anions Cl− and Br− were synthesized, and their dissolving power toward the cellulose was investigated. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of molecules of ionic liquids are presented.
