Exploiting isolobal relationships to create new ionic liquids: novel room-temperature ionic liquids based upon (N-alkylimidazole)(amine)BH2+"boronium" ions.
Readily prepared imidazole-based boronium ions form stable, hydrophobic, room-temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) with unique electronic and spectroscopic characteristics.
