Bio/Abstract: Room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs), consist merely ions, are molten salts at room temperature. ILs have recently become the focus of great interest due to their remarkable properties such as negligible vapor pressures, low melting points, non-flammability, good solvation of many organic and inorganic chemicals, and high ionic conductivity. ILs have been considered “designers’ solvents” for the future chemistry, biochemistry, and chemical engineering. These properties make ILs ideal candidates for numerous applications including the electrolytes in electrochemical processes, in rechargeable Li/Li+ batteries, and as proton carriers in proton exchange membrane in fuel cells. ILs can also be used as solvents in analytical chemistry, for example, as stationary phase of gas chromatography, sensing materials in gas sensors, solvents of extraction, and matrix of mass spectrometry. We have investigated conductivity, viscosity, spectroscopy, thermodynamics, and oxidation-reduction properties of several ionic or molecular species in IL solutions. The solvation mechanism of solutes in ILs plays an important role in the chemical-physical properties of IL solutions. These species include volatile organic compounds, Li+ ion, Na+, H+ ion, CO2, ferrocene, etc
