Abstract

Ionic liquids that have tailored structures with an array of unique functional properties can have important applications in areas such as C0₂ capture and sequestration, sulfur removal from fuels, energy storage, biomass pretreatment, and chemical separations. Within the computer-aided molecular design (CAMD) framework, a characterization based method was combined with chemometric and property clustering techniques in reverse problem formulation to the design of ionic liquid (IL) structures corresponding to particular physical ...
