Progress in Adjustment of Ionic Liquids Acidity Based on the Alkylation

Acidity is a very important character of ionic liquids, which determines the application of ionic liquids in catalysis. In some cases, the adjustment of ionic liquids acidity becomes important and necessary. Focusing on acidic ionic liquids, researches on determination of acidity, application of acidic ionic liquids in alkylation, acidic adjustment methods and novel acidic ionic liquids were reviewed. Finally the development of acidic ionic liquids is discussed.
