Papers from an August 2000 meeting report on recent solvent research in areas such as ionic liquids, supercritical fluids, aqueous and fluorous media, and biomass-derived solvents, reflecting the latest thinking on clean solvents that can be used for industrial processes and describing the benefits of these alternative solvents in the context of conventional technologies. Specific topics include continuous polymerizations in supercritical carbon dioxide, Lewis acid catalysis in clean solvents, organometallic reactions on aqueous media, and aqueous polyglycol solutions.
