Hydrophilic Quaternary Ammonium Type Ionic Liquids. Systematic Study of the Relationship among Molecular Structures, Osmotic Pressures, and Water-Solubility
This Letter examines the relationship between the structures of ionic liquids and their water-solubility or osmotic pressure with a number of synthesized quaternary ammonium type ionic liquids and organic salts containing a hydroxyl group as hydrophilic substituted groups on ammonium group cations, and bromide or methylsulfonate as anions. The study found a linear relation between the amount and osmotic pressure of the water-soluble ionic liquids synthesized here, strongly indicating that these water-soluble ionic liquids are perfectly ionized in water like inorganic salts with small diameter ions.
