• development and fundamental understanding of new carbohydrate based ionic liquids (CHILs)
• optimization of highly cost- and yield-efficient CHIL syntheses
• usage of CHILs as green alternatives to common ionic liquids
• application of CHILs in asymmetric synthesis, bio- and organocatalysis, polymer chemistry and more
