Funded Activity Summary

Radicals in unconventional media - improving the sustainability of radical reactions through next generation ionic liquid radical chemistry. Despite significant advances over the past few decades, many free radical reactions are still carried out in organic solvents that are often toxic, flammable, difficult to recycle and employ undesirable reagents. It is timely that new free radical chemistry be developed that moves away from this "conventional" landscape. This proposal will develop a fundamental understanding of how free radicals interact with, and react in, (unconventional) ionic liquid solvents. This understanding will lead, in turn, to the development of new, more efficient, free radicals methods for the preparation of important materials that include biomolecules. Reduced environmental impact of free radical chemistry is the ultimate aim of this work.
