Abstract
While protic ionic liquids (ILs) have found great success as solvents for a broad range of applications, little is known about their degradation when exposed to temperatures above ambient for extended periods of time. Here, we report the thermal stability of six protic ILs, namely, ethylammonium nitrate, ethylammonium formate, ethylammonium acetate, ethanolammonium nitrate, ethanolammonium formate, and ethanolammonium acetate. The effect of heating each ionic liquid to 60 °C for 1 h or 1 week (sealed or open to the atmosphere) was evaluated by considering the changes to water content, pH, mass, thermal phase transitions, and molecular structure after each treatment. Heating each of the six ILs when sealed led to measurable shifts in their water content and 10 wt % pH, but there was no significant change in their mass, thermal phase transitions according to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), or molecular structure using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra, indicating that the samples were largely unchanged. The samples that were heated open to the atmosphere also displayed no significant changes after 1 h but displayed significant changes after 1 week.

Abstract
Crystal polymorphs of fluorinated ionic liquids (fILs) were examined at low-temperature (LT) by Raman spectroscopy. The fILs were 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium perfluorobutanesulfonate, [Cnmim][PFBS] (n = 4, 6, and 8). The cations and anion possess conformational degrees of freedom. Various LT phases were derived from the conformational polymorphs of the cations and the anion. Conformational flexibility depended on alkyl chain length. The crystal polymorphs in the fILs were sensitive to molecular conformations and flexibility.
