N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylenediamine-based ionic liquids: Synthesis, structural characterization, thermal, dielectric and catalytic properties

► We have produced 2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-ethanaminiumformate, 2-amino-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethanaminiumformate, and 2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-ethanaminiumacetate as ionic liquids (ILs). ► Physical properties such as dielectric parameters, melting points of these ILs have been determined. ► We have proved solvent potential for the novel ILs.
