	abstract = {<p>In the search for environmentally benign solvent media, a new class of solvents composed of mixtures of carbohydrates with urea or methylated urea has been noted to be effective in enhancing the reaction rates of a bimolecular organic reaction like the Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with methyl acrylate. The viscosity of these media appears to be an important parameter in controlling the second order kinetics.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>In the present article, we demonstrate the effect of urea on the structure of the ionic liquids in their aqueous solutions through viscometric methods. We unravel the structure altering effect of urea in its aqueous solutions of ionic liquids possessing higher alkyl chains. The finding is an attempt to discern the anomalous behavior of urea as shown in the past with the help of many techniques. Interestingly, in the aqueous solutions of the imidazolium based ionic liquids having substitution of -C4H9 and -C6H13 groups on the imidazolium ring, urea exhibits kosmotropic behavior. Further increase in the substituted alkyl group such as -C8H17 alters the urea behavior to be chaotropic.</p>},
