Abstract

A series of novel lipid-inspired ionic liquids have been synthesized employing the thiol–ene “click” reaction in a single-step process. The thermal properties were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and showed observable trends between the C16, C18, and C20 analogues. The minimum melting points for each equivalent chain length series occur at sequential odd sulfur positions, 3, 5, and 7 for the C16, C18, and C20 ...
