Further development of this fi eld depends on R&D in ILs chemistry and revealing new perspective practical approaches. Because of the ILs importance and advantages, this book reviews in detail and compiles information on some important physico-chemical properties of ILs and new practical possibilities in 29 chapters gathered in 4 parts. This is the fi rst book of a series of forthcoming publications on this fi eld by this publisher. This volume covers some aspects of synthesis, isolation, production, properties and applications, modifi - cation, the analysis methods and modeling to reveal the structures and properties of some room temperature ILs, as well as their new possible applications. This book will be of help to many scientists: chemists, physicists, biologists, technologists and other experts in a variety of disciplines, both academic and industrial, as well as to students and PhD students. It may be also suitable for teaching, and help promote the progress in ILs development.
