Description: Ionic liquids (ILs) have many advantageous properties exploited in an increasing number of applications. Crucial to their continued and expanded use is the fine-tuning of IL structures to refine their capability profiles. Organic chemistry can play an important role in providing ILs with more sophisticated properties. In this communication, we provide relevant examples of the use of organic chemistry in the planning and delivery of novel structures and improved capabilities. Here we present three novel ILs characterized by X-ray crystallography resulting from partnering known anions, tetrafluoroborate (BF ₄⁻), bis (trifluoromethane) sulfonimide (TFSI⁻), and bromide (Br⁻) with novel cations based on three main structural types. The crystallographic analyses reported here high-light intermolecular and supramolecular features particularly the role of van der Waals interactions.
