A range of dialkylimidazolium organotrifluoroborate ionic liquids were prepared by anion metathesis from newly available potassium organotrifluoroborate salts, and their physical properties were characterized by TGA, DSC, and STA. Thermal decompositi... Read More about Thermolysis of Organofluoroborate Ionic Liquids to NHC-Organofluoroborates.

Tuning the Cation-Anion Interactions by Methylation of the Pyridinium Cation: An X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Study of Picolinium Ionic Liquids (2020)
Journal Article

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to investigate the impact of methylation on the electronic environment of pyridinium cations. Because of the electron-donating effect of the methyl group, there is a significant increase in electron density on...

Thermally-stable ionic liquids (ILs) have limited structural possibilities and lack coordinating anions or functional groups. Thermal stability effectively incurs a tunability penalty, limiting ionic liquid function to render them as simple heat-stab...
