Comparing intermediate range order for alkyl- vs. ether-substituted cations in ionic liquidsThis article is part of the ChemComm 'Ionic liquids' web themed issue.Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c2cc31550e

X-ray scattering data from four pairs of ionic liquids (ILs) are compared. The alkyl-substituted cations show a first sharp diffraction peak between 3 and 4 nm −1 that is not observed for ILs having cations with ether- or hydroxy-substitutions. These observations indicate a significant difference in...

Summary:X-ray scattering data from four pairs of ionic liquids (ILs) are compared. The alkyl-substituted cations show a first sharp diffraction peak between 3 and 4 nm −1 that is not observed for ILs having cations with ether- or hydroxy-substitutions. These observations indicate a significant difference in the intermediate range order for these liquids. Pairs of ionic liquids that differ only by alkyl vs . isoelectronic ether substituents have very different intermediate range order.
