A new approach has been developed to improve SO 2 sorption by cyano‐containing ionic liquids (ILs) through tuning the basicity of ILs and cyano–sulfur interaction. Several kinds of cyano‐containing ILs with different basicity were designed, prepared, and used for SO 2 capture. The interaction between these cyano‐containing ILs and SO 2 was investigated by FTIR and NMR methods. Spectroscopic investigations and quantum chemical calculations showed that dramatic effects on SO 2 capacity originate from the basicity of the ILs and enhanced cyano–sulfur interaction. Furthermore, the captured SO 2 was easy to release by heating or bubbling N 2 through the ILs. This efficient and reversible process, achieved by tuning the basicity of ILs, is an excellent alternative to current technologies for SO 2 capture.
