General synthetic procedures
Reagents for syntheses of the ionic liquid precursors were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and
distilled immediately before use, with the exception of 1,4,5-trimethylimidazole, which was pur-
chased from Star Synthesis Co., Ltd and used without further purification. Lithium
bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide used in metathesis reactions to give the desired ionic liquids
5-9, was purchased from IoLiTec Ionic Liquids Technologies GmbH.
All other reagents used in synthesis were commercially available, purchased from either Sigma
Aldrich or Alfa Aesar and used without further purification.
Organic solvents used in syntheses were either used as received from Ajax Finechem or collected
from a Pure Solv MD Solvent Purification System. All organic solvents used in kinetics experi-
ments were either collected from the aforementioned solvent purification system or purified us-
ing methods available in the literature.1 Milli-Q™ water, where mentioned, was collected from a
Millipore Milli-Q™ Academic System with a resistivity of 18.2 Ω·cm.
Unless stated otherwise in the text, reduced pressure used in all operations was ca. 210 Torr.
High resolution mass spectrometric results were obtained on a Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap
XL mass spectrometer equipped with a nanospray ionisation source (positive ion mode, spray
voltage 1.2 kV, capillary voltage 45 V, capillary temperature 275°C, Lens Voltage 150 V) in the
Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry Facility within the Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre of the
University of New South Wales by Chowdhury Sarowar. This work was undertaken using infra-
structure provided by NSW Government co-investment in the National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Scheme (NCRIS) and subsidised access to this facility is gratefully acknowledged.

Synthesis of the ionic liquids 5-9
1-Butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide 52
1,2-Dimethylimidazole (50.0 g, 0.520 mol) and n-chlorobutane (53.0 g, 0.572 mol) were dis-
solved in dry toluene (50 mL) and heated under reflux for 40 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere
at 80°C; during this time, two layers formed. The vessel was allowed to cool to room tempera-
ture before being placed in the freezer at -20°C for 36 hours. The top layer was discarded, whilst
the light yellow bottom layer was washed with toluene (3 x 60 mL) and dried under reduced
pressure at 65°C to give 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimiazolium chloride as a cream solid (56.4 g, 58%).

1-Butyl-2,3-dimethylimiazolium chloride (56.4 g, 0.299 mol) was dissolved in water (50 mL)
and combined with a solution of lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (95.0 g, 0.331 mol) in
water (75 mL). Two layers immediately formed, with the desired ionic liquid forming the bottom
layer. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for an hour, after which the top layer was de-
canted off. The lower layer was washed with water (10 x 50 mL) until the washings tested nega-
tive to a silver nitrate test. The organic layer was dried to constant weight under reduced pressure
at 65°C to yield the ionic liquid 5 as a colourless, viscous liquid (109 g, 84%). 1H NMR (300

1,4,5-Trimethylimidazole (15.1 g, 0.137 mol) and n-chlorobutane (39.0 g, 0.421 mol) were heat-
ed at 70°C for 13 days. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and the
precipitate collected via filtration and suspended in ethyl acetate (200 ml). After stirring for 2 h
the ethyl acetate was decanted and process repeated twice. The remaining cream solid was dried
under reduced pressure at 90°C to give 1-butyl-3,4,5-trimethylimidazolium chloride (20.1 g,

1-Butyl-3,4,5-trimethylimidazolium chloride (20.0 g, 0.099 mol) was dissolved in water (20 ml)

1-Butyl-2,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide 72
1,2,4,5-Tetramethylimidazole (10.0 g, 0.0806 mol) and n-chlorobutane (13.6 g, 0.147 mol) were
combined and heated under reflux for 24 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere at 80°C; during this
time two layers formed. The vessel was allowed to cool to room temperature before being placed
in the freezer at -20°C for 36 hours. The top layer was discarded, whilst the bottom layer was
dried under reduced pressure at 140°C. This yielded a dark brown viscous oil (14.2 g) containing
ca. 5% of the imidazole starting material by 1H NMR spectroscopy, which was used without fur-
ther purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 0.90 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 3H, CH2CH3), 1.39 (m, 2H,

stirred at room temperature for 12 hours, at which point the top layer was decanted off. The low-
er layer was washed with water (3 x 100 mL) until the washings tested negative to a silver nitrate
test. The organic layer was decolourised using charcoal in dichloromethane, which was removed
in vacuo, and dried to constant weight under reduced pressure at 90°C to yield the ionic liquid 7

1-Methylpyrrolidine (50.0 g, 0.587 mol) and n-chlorobutane (60.0 g, 0.763 mol) were dissolved
in dry acetonitrile (50 mL) and heated under reflux for 18 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere at
70°C. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the remaining solid was washed in
petroleum ether (3 x 150 mL) and the residue dried under reduced pressure at 65°C for 6 hours to

1-Butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride (100 g, 0.565 mol) was dissolved in water (300 mL) and
combined with a solution of lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (162 g, 0.565 mol) in wa-

tom layer. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 17 hours, after which the top layer
was decanted off. The lower layer was washed with water (7 x 50 mL) until the washings tested
negative to a silver nitrate test. The bright yellow organic layer was decolourised twice using
charcoal in dichloromethane, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was dried to con-

To a solution of tetraoctylammonium bromide (24.9 g, 0.0455 mol) in acetone (100 mL) and wa-

Details of molecular dynamics simulations
All structures were calculated using Gaussian 035 at the B3LYP level of theory using the
6-31G(d) basis set. Molecular dynamics simulation were performed with the DL_POLY 2.20
software package.6 Aten 1.87 was used to generate initial configurations for molecular dynamics
simulations and for the visualisation of probability densities. The Canongia-Lopes force field for
ionic liquids8 was applied to the components belonging to the ionic liquids and the OPLS-AA
force field9-13 was used for pyridine. Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out under
cubic periodic boundary conditions with short-range and long-range cutoffs set to 12.0 Å and an
Ewald precision of 10-6. Configurations were initially allowed to reach the densities appropriate
for each of the ionic liquids through a series of low-temperature, constant-pressure simulations
with increasing timestep size, starting at 2 x 10-5 fs. Equilibration runs were carried out at 400 K
for 400 ps prior to production runs where data was collected over 4 ns with 2 fs timesteps and
configurations were recorded every 250 steps.
