Phosphonium Acesulfamate Based Ionic Liquids

Abstract

Abstract We present a new class of solvents containing nonfluorous, well‐established, nontoxic organoanions that can be used as “green” alternatives to volatile organic solvents in a variety of applications such as solvent extraction, antielectrostatic agents, and as electrolytes in solar‐cell applications. The acesulfamate anion is an effective substitute for very expensive bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
