Do ion tethered functional groups affect IL solvent properties? The case of sulfoxides and sulfones

Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Feb 14:(6):646-8. doi: 10.1039/b514832d. Epub 2006 Jan 6.

Abstract

The covalent incorporation of functional groups-specifically sulfoxide and sulfone-into the cation of imidazolium ionic liquids leads to significant, quantifiable changes in solvent parameters which in turn have important effects on the bulk properties of the materials.
