A series of highly pure 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (V) ionic liquids was firstly investigated by XPS. Reliable binding energy values for all elements within the samples were obtained by applying a C 1s fitting model previously e...

Introduction
Ionic liquid (IL) surface science has experienced rapid expansion in recent years. As such, a multitude of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) techniques have been used to probe the IL/vacuum interface including laboratory and synchrotron X-ray p...

We use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to identify the interaction between the rhodium atom and phosphine ligands in six 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids ([C8C1Im][X]). The formation of a mono-phosphine rhodium complex based upo... Read More about X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as a probe of rhodium-ligand interaction in ionic liquids.

Quaternary ammonium and phosphonium based ionic liquids: a comparison of common anions (2014)

A series of ammonium-based ionic liquids and their phosphonium analogues have been investigated using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). A robust C 1s peak fitting model has been developed and described for the tetraalkylphosphonium and tetraalk...

Tuning the electronic environment of cations and anions using ionic liquid mixtures (2014)
Journal Article

Electrostatic interactions are ubiquitous in ionic liquids and therefore, the electronic environment (i.e. the distribution of electron density) of their constituent ions has a determining influence on their properties and applications. Moreover, the... Read More about Tuning the electronic environment of cations and anions using ionic liquid mixtures.
