Abstract

Aromatic molecules have a strong affinity for silver (I) and dissolve to a limited extent in Ag0. 51K0. 42Na0. 07NO3, a low-melting eutectic mixture of silver, potassium, and sodium nitrates. Aromatic nitration in this inorganic ionic liquid leads to products which arise from nonelectrophilic substitution pathways.
