Description |
Dynamic solvation of the dye, coumarin 153, is compared in ionic liquids that form micelles in water against the bulk solvent. This provides the unprecedented opportunity of investigating the behaviour of the ionic liquid in two globally different configurations. Exploiting the use of ionic liquids capable of accommodating specific structures provides a deeper insight into how solutes interact with these fascinating and interesting solvents that are gaining ever increasing interest in the scientific community. |
