Application of ionic liquids as mobile phase modifier in HPLC

Ionic liquids are receiving an upsurge of interest as 'green' solvents; primarily as replacements for conventional media in chemical processes. Although ionic liquids are rather ''young modifier, their great potential in high-performance liquids chromatography (HPLC) has already been demonstrated. This review presents an overview of the applications of ionic liquids as mobile phase modifiers in HPLC.
