Molecular Shells and Range of Interactions in Ionic Liquids as a Function of Temperature.

ABSTRACT: Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) represent a versatile class of chemical systems composed entirely of oppositely charged species whose bulk properties can be fine-tuned by adjusting molecular structures and, consequently, intermolecular interactions. Understanding the intricate dynamics between ionic species can aid in the rational design of RTILs for specific applications in a range of fields, including catalysis and electrochemistry. Here, we investigate the temperature dependence of intermolecular interactions through magnetization transfer by means of ¹H-¹⁹F heteronuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (HOESY) for two ionic liquids, namely, [BMIM][BF₄] and [BMIM][PF₆]. We find that the cross-relaxation rates vary significantly over a ra
