High performance NMR in ionic liquids

Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques for investigations of and in neat ionic liquids have been developed. After thorough optimisation, a resolution comparable to classical solvents is achieved. The technique is usable for a wide range of ILs. Observed nuclei are 1H and 13C and potentially 2H and 19F. Measurements of T1 values show multipulse experiments to be feasible.
