Explaining Ionic Liquid Water Solubility in Terms of Cation and Anion Hydrophobicity
The water solubility of salts is ordinarily dictated by lattice energy and ion solvation. However, in the case of low melting salts also known as ionic liquids, lattice energy is immaterial and differences in hydrophobicity largely account for differences in their water solubility. In this contribut...
