Abstract

Single crystals of five very low-melting ionic liquids, [emim]BF4 (mp -1.3 degrees C), [bmim]PF6 (+1.9 degrees C), [bmim]OTf (+6.7 degrees C), [hexpy]NTf2 (-3.6 degrees C), and [bmpyr]NTf2 (-10.8 degrees C), have been grown using a combined calorimetric and zone-melting approach and their crystal structures determined by X-ray diffraction.
