Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts with uncommonly low melting points that are formed by a combination of specific cations and anions; they display distinctive properties and can be used in a variety of applications.[1, 2] The working temperature range of an ionic liquid is set by the melting point and the boiling or decomposition point. In particular, the melting point (Tm) varies substantially between different ILs for reasons presently not fully understood, ...
