Abstract: Opposite effect of hydrogen bonding: Whereas molecular liquids are stabilized, ionic liquids can be fluidized by hydrogen bonds. Highly directional H bonds introduce “defects” into the Coulomb network resulting in reduced melting points and decreased viscosities. This is shown by the mid- and far-FTIR spectra of two ionic liquids. (Structure in black: all H bonds are possible, structure in white: methyl group prevents one H bond.)
