Ionic liquids represent an exciting class of compounds that are composed solely of ionic species and are liquid below 100°C. They are attracting great attention as environmentally responsible solvent media, and as such, they are the focus of a profusion of research activities. Aiming at relating their appealing macroscopic properties, in terms of micro- and mesoscopic features, neutron scattering techniques have been successfully applied in the last decade to explore these compounds. In this contribution, an overview of fundamental structural (over the spatial scale ranging from angstrom to several nanometers) and dynamic (across the window from fraction of picosecond to several nanosecond) studies are accounted for, aiming at revealing the contribution that neutron scattering can provide in complementing and extending the level of understanding so far reached.

Abstract
Ionic liquids represent an exciting class of compounds that are composed solely of ionic species and are liquid below 100°C. They are attracting great attention as environmentally responsible solvent media, and as such, they are the focus of a profusion of research activities. Aiming at relating their appealing macroscopic properties, in terms of micro- and mesoscopic features, neutron scattering techniques have been successfully applied in the last decade to explore these compounds. In this contribution, an overview of fundamental structural (over the spatial scale ranging from angstrom to several nanometers) and dynamic (across the window from fraction of picosecond to several nanosecond) studies are accounted for, aiming at revealing the contribution that neutron scattering can provide in complementing and extending the level of understanding so far reached.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
