Three amino acid-based ionic liquids (AAILs) are synthesized to evaluate their performance as inhibitors. They are 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium-glutamate (EMIMGlu), 1-(3-cyanopropyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium-glutamate (CPMIMGlu) and 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium-glutamate (BMIMGlu). The structures are cl...
