Abstract
This project will investigate novel amino acid methyl ester chiral ionic liquids and determine how increased concentration of lanthanide solute and changes in size of counter ions tetramethylammonium and tetrabutylammonium affects interaction between the ionic liquid and the fluorescent lanthanide solute. Both concentration dependence and temperature dependence were discovered. The chiral ionic liquid [L-prolineCl][TfiN] reacted uniquely to the change in concentration.
