The current chapter describes the basic concepts, selected physicochemical
properties, and general structural supramolecular organization of ionic liquids. The
concepts and importance of ion pairs, supramolecular aggregates, and the organization
of neat ionic liquids are also addressed in this chapter. These ionic fluids have also
been used as chiral inductors, and the basis for this application is also evaluated in this
chapter. The main objectives of this opening chapter of the book are to highlight
selected examples showcasing the significance of chiral ionic liquids and their
applications in chemistry, particularly in promoting chiral transmission.
Keywords: Application, Chirality, Ionic liquids, Ion pairs, Induction, Organization.
