Abstract:

Ionic liquids (ILs) are defined as liquid electrolytes composed entirely of ions. More recently, the melting point criterion has been proposed to distinguish between molten salt and ionic liquids. IL can be used as excellent alternative to organic solvents and catalysis. ILs such as BMI.FexCl3x+1 (X= 1, 2) with iron atoms acting as Lewis acids in the anionic moiety were tested as catalysts for styrene polymerization with impressive results. Iron is considered an attractive metal due to ecological, abundance and cost reasons. Herein, we describe the use of an ionically-tagged catalyst for the styrene polymerization.
