Abstract

Abstract : The properties of three imidazolium based ionic liquids have been compared and used as solvents for the electrochemical oxidation of various anions. Abstract : Three Ionic liquids (ILs) based on an imidazolium core have been compared and used as solvents for the oxidation of various anions. Electrochemical experiments as well as NMR titrations and X-ray diffraction analyses unambiguously confirm the crucial role of non-covalent halogen bonding on the oxidation potentials and consequently the electrochemical window of the respective ILs.
