“…As an example, the observed melting point change for ionic liquids with different anions was explained in terms of the change in the interaction energy and the relative position depending on the anion. 14,40 Many calculation studies found that the relative position of the anion with respect to the cation could change with the anion type 9,[14][15][16]20,21 and, in case of imidazolium-based ionic liquid, proposed that the interaction between the anion and H-C(2) is crucial in determining this structure. 15,18,19,40,41 The recent simulated IR spectrum in the 2800-3200 cm -1 range was shown to change with anion position.…”
