Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of non-molecular ionic solvents that possess many properties of current interest in a variety of interdisciplinary areas of science. The interaction capabilities inherent to ILs are directly related to the structures of the cationic/anionic moieties that comprise the IL. This talk describes a novel method of exploring the effects of temperature, aqueous solution electrolyte concentration, and pH to further understand how these conditions effect the partitioning of various molecules to ILs. This method can be used to examine the distribution of molecules in a variety of biphasic systems.
