Absolute Trends and Accurate and Precise Gas-Phase Binding Energies of 1-Alkyl-3-Methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate Ionic Liquid Clusters from Combined Independent and Competitive TCID Measurements
Abstract:Ionic liquid (IL) development efforts have focused on achieving desired properties via tuning of the IL through variation of the cations and anions. However, works geared toward a microscopic understanding of the nature and strength of the intrinsic cation−anion interactions of ILs have been rather limited such that the intrinsic strength of the cation−anion interactions in ILs is largely unknown. In previous work, we employed threshold collision-induced dissociation approaches supported and enhanced by electr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
