Abstract:
Nuclear magnetic resonance studies revealed that the chemical shift of H2O in hydrated ionic liquids varied with their component ions. The variation reflected the formation of hydrogen bonding networks between ions and water molecules. The chemical shift relative to bulk water was used to quantitatively assess the kosmotropicity.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process...
