Cover Picture: Green Imidazolium Ionics-From Truly Sustainable Reagents to Highly Functional Ionic Liquids (Chem. Eur. J. 49/2017).

Sustainable ionic liquids are promising compounds in green chemistry applications. While using them as solvent or reaction media is an important step towards more environmentally friendly chemistry, their synthesis is usually expensive and not green at all. Herein, a benign route to synthesize task ‐ specific ionic liquids is presented, offering several possible functionalities in the cation and anion (artwork by D. Kraban).
