Applying the inductive effect for synthesizing low-melting and low-viscosity imidazolium-based ionic liquids.
Fluidizing ionic liquids: By applying the inductive effect, a synthesis strategy to introduce strong, directional and localized H-bonds into imidazolium-based ionic liquids is proposed. In opposite to H-bonded molecular liquids these strong H-bonds could reduce the melting points and decrease the viscosities of the ILs (see figure).
