Researchers have for the first time determined the acidity of ionic liquids using Raman spectroscopy, thanks to Hammett acidity functions. This advance promises to revolutionise our understanding and use of these organic solvents, in which dissolvedacids can be remarkably more acidic than in water, with an acidity that can be up to 100 million times … Read more
