L-Dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride

Fig. 1 Diagrams depicting a a layer of a cubic sodium chloride crystal b a monoclinic 1,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride ionic-liquid crystal c two radial distribution functions (RDFs) in liquid l-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. Anions and cations are depicted in red and blue. In the cases of b and c the blue circles represent the centroid of the imidazolium rings of the cations. The alternating sequences of red and blue circles in a and b as well as the two curves in phase opposition in c clearly indicate the existence and nature of the polar networks in ionic condensed phases...
