High-pressure crystallization of 1-methyl-3-trimethylsilylmethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid
The 1-methyl-3-trimethylsilylmethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Si-MIm][BF4]) liquid has been crystallized under high pressure of 400 MPa. The liquid-crystal phase transition has been detected and the crystal structure of such prepared ionic crystal has been determined by X-ray diffraction. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
