Abstract
Experiments and calculations have provided strong evidence for the H-bonds and the roles in the properties and reactions of ILs. H-bonds influence ionic pairing, stacking and self-assembling, and further influence properties ILs. Using ILs as catalysts and solvents, many reactions can be activated by the presence of H-bonds, which reduce reaction barriers and stabilize transition states.
