Using <sup>129</sup>Xe NMR to Probe the Structure of Ionic Liquids
The mesoscopic structure of 30 distinct
ionic liquids was probed by <sup>129</sup>Xe NMR spectroscopy. The
interpretation of the experimental data was complemented using molecular
dynamics results. The results clearly show that xenon can effectively
probe the various environments characteristic of different ionic liquids
(ILs) and is thus able to distinguish between distinct ionic liquid
families, including different types of interactions with diverse types
of anion/polar networks. A finer analysis of the NMR data also confirmed
that the xenon probes can also provide information on how the complex
structure of an IL evolves along a homologous series
