Abstract

Supercritical (SC) CO2 and ionic liquids (ILs) are two types of solvents with special properties, which have been used as reaction media for different chemical reactions. In this chapter, some recent work about the effect of phase behavior on chemical reactions in SC CO2 and SC CO2/IL biphasic systems are discussed.
