Applications

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and Aluminum chloride (1:1.5), CAS: 80432-09-3

Key Applications:

Lewis‑Acidic Catalysis

  • Serves as a strongly Lewis‑acidic ionic liquid for Friedel–Crafts alkylation and acylation.
  • Enables high‑selectivity transformations in isomerization, oligomerization, and alkylation of aromatics.
  • Functions as a reusable catalytic medium, reducing reliance on volatile organic solvents.

Electrochemical Systems

  • Used as an electrolyte in aluminum electrodeposition, enabling smooth, dense aluminum coatings at moderate temperatures.
  • Supports electrochemical synthesis routes requiring moisture‑sensitive, chloride‑rich environments.
  • Provides wide electrochemical windows suitable for metal plating and corrosion‑resistant surface finishing.

Metal Processing and Refining

  • Applied in aluminum recovery and purification processes due to its ability to solubilize aluminum species.
  • Facilitates controlled deposition of aluminum alloys for microelectronics and protective coatings.

Organic Synthesis and Reaction Media

  • Acts as a dual‑function solvent–catalyst for chlorination, polymerization, and cationic rearrangements.
  • Stabilizes reactive carbocations and metal complexes, enabling transformations not feasible in conventional solvents.
  • Supports biphasic catalysis where product separation is simplified by the ionic liquid phase.

Materials Science and Thin‑Film Fabrication

  • Used in the preparation of aluminum‑based thin films for microfabrication and semiconductor research.
  • Provides a tunable medium for templated nanostructure formation and controlled metal nucleation.

Green Chemistry and Process Intensification

    • Reduces hazardous waste by replacing corrosive mineral acids in Lewis‑acid catalysis.
    • Offers recyclability and thermal stability, supporting closed‑loop reaction systems.
