Abstract

N-methyl-N-hexadecylpyrrolidinium bromide (IL) was synthesized for the design of ionic liquid crystals which is a fascinating class of molecular materials, offering the combination of order and mobility. In binary mixtures with water, lyotropic liquid crystalline phase appears in the range of IL content from 35% to 70% and the temperature range from -1.1 to 24 °C in the heating run. The SAXS curves explored the self-assembly processes and hexagonal phase of the IL apparent sol. The saturated aliphatic ionic liquid in water assemble less tightly compared with aromatic ionic liquid based on imidazolium in water, which is due to the absence of aromatic package effect.
