TL;DR: The alkyl chain length of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide was varied to prepare a series of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), and the thermal behavior, density, viscosity, self-diffusion coefficients, and ionic conductivity were measured over a wide temperature range.

TL;DR: In this article, room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) based on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([bmim]) with a variety of fluorinated anions were prepared, and the thermal behavior, density, viscosity, self-diffusion coefficients of the cations and anions, and ionic conductivity were measured over a wide temperature range.

TL;DR: The Lambda(imp)/Lambda(NMR) well illustrates the degree of cation-anion aggregation in the RTILs at equilibrium, which can be explained by the effects of anionic donor and cationic acceptor abilities for the RTils having different anionic andcationic backbone structures with fixed counterparts, and by the inductive and dispersive forces for the various alkyl chain lengths in the cations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of Bronsted acid−base ionic liquids were derived from the controlled combination of a monoprotonic acid with an organic base under solvent-free conditions.

TL;DR: Comparison with the experimental ionic conductivities shows that the magnitude and directionality of the interaction energy of the ion pairs play a crucial role in determining the ionic dissociation/association dynamics in the ionsic liquids.
