Definition

Reactions catalyzed by materials that are composed of thin films of ionic liquid on porous support surfaces. The catalytic functionality can be the ionic liquid itself, a dissolved homogeneous catalyst, or a heterogeneous support coated with ionic liquid.

Introduction

In an industrial environment, the separation of the product from the catalyst and the efficient recycling of the usually expensive catalyst are key factors for the economic success. While homogeneous transition metal complexes and biocatalysts are advantageous compared to heterogeneous catalysts with respect to reaction conditions and selectivity, the often tedious and energy-consuming separation of these homogeneous catalysts from the reaction mixture hampers the implementation of these benign systems in industry. Ionic liquid film coating of solid catalytic materials helps to overcome or minimize some of these drawbacks [1].

In homogeneous catalysis, the often tedious catalyst recycling and product separation...
