The chem. and thermal stability of ionic liquids (ILs) makes them interesting for a large variety of applications in nearly all areas of the chem. industry. However, this stability is often reflected in their recalcitrance towards biodegradation, which comes with the risk of persistence when they are released into the environment. The authors carried out a systematic study of the biodegradability of pyrrolidinium, morpholinium, piperidinium, imidazolium and pyridinium-based IL cations substituted with different alkyl or functionalized side chains and using halide counterions. The authors examined their primary degradability by specific anal. and/or their ultimate biodegradability using BOD tests according to OECD guideline 301F. Biol. transformation products were studied using mass spectrometry. A comparison of the biodegradation potential of these ILs shows that for all five head groups, representatives can be found that are readily or inherently biodegradable, thus permitting the structural design of ILs with a reduced environmental hazard.
