ILThermo


ILThermo is a publicly available web-based ionic liquids database. It provides users with up-to-date information on publications of experimental investigation on ionic liquids, including numerical values of chemical and physical properties, measurement methods, sample purity, uncertainty of property values, and many other significant measurement details.

The database can be searched by means of the ions constituting the ionic liquids, the ionic liquids themselves, their properties, or by publication.
