Structure of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate: model for room temperature molten salts

Abstract
The crystal structure of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium (EMI+) hexafluorophosphate consists of interionic interactions dominated by cation–anion coulombic forces with minimal hydrogen bonding and serves as a model for EMI+ room temperature molten salts containing weakly complexing anions.
