Arrangements of enantiopure and racemic ionic liquids at the liquid/air interface: the role of chirality on self-assembly and layering

摘要

Chiral ionic liquids (CILs) have been obtained in high yield using commercial propylene oxide or natural alcohols (citronellol and nopol) as building blocks. The self-assembly ability at the interface IL/air for some couples of enantiopure and racemic CILs was explored by angle resolved XPS.
