title: Do ion tethered functional groups affect IL solvent properties? The case of sulfoxides and sulfones.
abstract: The covalent incorporation of functional groups-specifically sulfoxide and sulfone-into the cation of imidazolium ionic liquids leads to significant, quantifiable changes in solvent parameters which in turn have important effects on the bulk properties of the materials.
