This book was derived from a symposium of the same name
held at the 228th National Meeting of the American Chemical
Society at Philadelphia, PA in August 2004. There are 22
chapters, a sampling of which includes “Electrophilic Chemistry
in Ionic Liquids”, “Approaches to Imino Diels-Alder Reactions
in Imidazolium Ionic Liquids”, and “Tailoring Adsorptiondesorption
Properties of Hydroamination Catalysts with Ionic
Liquids”. An author index and a subject index complete the
book.
