In 2002, we became the first group to disclose the preparation of amine-functionalized ionic liquids and their use in the reversible chemical capture of CO2. Initially developed for use as improved materials for the sweetening of natural gas, growing concern over the contributions of anthropogenic CO2 emissions to global warming quickly came to the fore as a driving rationale for the development of such materials.  In this talk, we will discuss the origins of our efforts in this area, as well improvements which we have made in intervening years, without fanfare, that have positioned this technology as a viable, deployable means for CO2 capture.
