Design and Synthesis of Multifunctional Materials Based on an Ionic‐Liquid Backbone

Abstract

No longer simply “green” solvents, ionic liquids can be used as backbones to integrate independent components into a multifunctional compound. For example, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are coupled with various anions (X−) by a simple anion-exchange reaction (see picture).
