This comprehensive database on physical properties of pure ionic liquids (ILs)contains data collected from 269 peer-reviewed papers in the period from 1982 to June 2008. There are more than 9,400 data points on the 29 kinds of physicochemical properties for 1886 available ionic liquids, from which 807 kinds of cations and 185 kinds of anions were extracted. This book includes nearlyall known pure ILs and their known physicochemical properties through June 2008. In addition, the authors incorporate the main applications of individual ILs and a large number of references.

-Nearly 50 tables include typical data, experimental and modelling or simulation comparison, and model parameters, enhancing the application of ILs.

-100 figures--from QSPR, EOS and gE models to quantum and molecular simulations--help readers understand

ILs at molecular level.

-Applications illustrate the role of IL properties in industry, in particular the development of novel clean processes and products.
