“…Qualitatively, bond distances in the imidazolium ring show the typical short (C2ÐN1 and C2ÐN3), long (N1ÐC5 and N3ÐC4), and short (C4ÐC5) variation (Elaiwi et al, 1995). Quantitatively, they agree, within experimental error, with the averages of those reported for three other tetra-substituted imidazolium species, (II), (III) and (IV) (Kuhn et al, 1996(Kuhn et al, , 1999(Kuhn et al, , 2001).…”
