Ionic liquids are an emerging class of materials with a diverse and extraordinary set of
properties. Understanding the origins of these properties and how they can be controlled by …

Ionic liquids can simultaneously assume multiple solvent roles, because they are strongly
polar and polarizable solvents and binary solutions and frequently contain very hydrophobic …

Steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy with 25 ps resolution are used to
measure equilibrium and dynamic aspects of the solvation of coumarin 153 (C153) in a …

Ionic liquids have generated tremendous excitement as a new class of solvent systems
having the potential to serve as an environmentally friendly alternative to the traditionally …

One of the potential applications of the ionic liquids (ILs) is their use as lubricants or
lubricant additives. The choice of the cation and the anion of the ILs, as well as the side …

Ionic liquid viscosity is one of the most important properties to consider for practical
applications. Yet, the connection between local structure and viscosity remains an open …

We report the combined results of computational and x ray scattering studies of amorphous
methyltributylammonium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide as a function of temperature …

The excitation wavelength dependence of the emission kinetics of several solutes is used to
demonstrate the presence of dynamic heterogeneity in two representative room temperature …

The dynamic Stokes shift of coumarin 153, measured with a combination of broad-band
fluorescence upconversion (80 fs resolution) and time-correlated single photon counting (to …
