Abstract:
(1)H MAS NMR and temperature-dependent relaxation time measurements were carried out for the first time on ionic liquids confined in monolithic silica matrices and enabled us to show that the ionic liquids' dynamics experienced only a very small slowing-down. The confinement preserved the ionic liquids' properties and, moreover, allowed liquid-like behaviour at temperatures below the crystallisation temperature of genuine ionic liquids. This study highlights the interest of the ionogel approach to all-solid state devices with genuine IL properties.

Molecular and Ionic Solids
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
