The extent to which cations and anions in ionic liquids (ILs) and ionic liquid solutions are
dissociated is of both fundamental scientific interest and practical importance because ion …

Much of chemistry is concerned with the study of reactions and processes in solution, that is,
where liquids are used as solvents. 2, 3 The solvent is the (excess) liquid phase in which …

Ionic liquids are defined as salts composed solely of ions with melting points below 100° C.
These remarkable liquids have unique and fascinating properties and offer new …

Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) is an important and very general phenomenon. H-bonding
is part of the basis of life in DNA, key in controlling the properties of water and ice, and …

We address the competition between intermolecular forces underlying the recent
observation that ionic liquids (ILs) with a hydroxyl-functionalized cation can form domains …

This study explores the interactions underlying the IR spectra of the ionic liquid
[NC4111][NTf2] and its deuterated isotopomer [d9-NC4111][NTf2] by first isolating the …

Various alkyl-methylimidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) were inspected using infrared
spectroscopy in the middle frequency range. In the 1050–1200 cm–1 range, there is a …

We address the cooperative hydrogen bonding interactions in play between the ionic
constituents of ionic liquids (ILs) with particular attention to those involving the attractive …

The infrared predissociation spectra of [bmim]+·(H2O) n, n= 1–8, in the 2800–3800 cm− 1
region are presented and analyzed with the help of electronic structure calculations. The …

Infrared (IR) spectra of solutions of the lithium salt LiBF4 in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-
methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EmimBF4) and in the organic solvent propylene …
