Journal ArticleDOI
How Polar Are Ionic Liquids? Determination of the Static Dielectric Constant of an Imidazolium-based Ionic Liquid by Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy
TL;DR: The results indicate markedly lower polarities than found by spectroscopy with polarity-sensitive solvatochromic dyes, and the salts are classified as moderately polar solvents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dielectric response of imidazolium-based room-temperature ionic liquids.

TL;DR: The missing high-frequency portion of the spectra indicates relaxation beyond the upper cutoff frequency of 20 GHz, presumably due to subpicosecond translational and librational displacements of ions in the cage of their counterions, but there is no evidence for orientational relaxation of long-lived ion pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural study of supercritical water. I. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the proton chemical shift of water at supercritical temperatures up to 400°C and densities of 0.19, 0.29, 0,41, 0.,49, and 0.60g/cm3.
Journal ArticleDOI
NMR Study of Water Structure in Super- and Subcritical Conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the proton chemical shift of water is measured at temperatures up to 400°C and densities of 0.19, 0.41, and 0.60°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collective rotational dynamics in ionic liquids: A computational and experimental study of 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate
TL;DR: It is found that the Madden-Kivelson relation is fairly fulfilled in long-term simulation studies (>100 ns), i.e., the collective reorientation can be predicted by the corresponding single-particle property and the static dipolar correlation factor, GK.
