Reactions of some rhodium complexes in imidazolium ionic liquids.

Ionic liquids have been used as novel solvents in chemical reactions with higher yields than common organic solvents. The present work starts by showing an introduction where ionic liquids are discussed as a green alternative as solvents. After this the background of ionic liquids is explained, including a short review of recent results that include the use of organometallic compounds as catalysts in these solvents. Many of those works do not give details about the interaction of catalysts with the ionic solvents. After this, the experimental part is explained and the results are shown.
