Highly fluorinated phosphonium ionic liquids: novel media for the generation of superhydrophobic coatings.
A new class of highly fluorinated phosphonium ionic liquids (HFPILs) that are thermally stable, non-volatile, tuneable small molecules has been synthesized; they are uniquely suited for creating novel superhydrophobic coatings, offering a new paradigm in the application of ionic liquids.
