TLDR
These new results clearly show that guanidinium-, unlike the imidazolium- and phosphonium-based ILs, do not follow the trend of increasing toxicity with the increase in the alkyl chain length, and the introduction of oxygenated groups on theAlkyl chains leads to a decrease of the toxicity of guanIDinium and also imidrazolium compounds.About:
