Water in ionic liquids: Raman spectroscopic studies
Satyen Saha, Abhineet Verma, Krishanu Bandyopadhyay
Abstract
Abstract The application of Raman spectroscopy in studies of ionic liquid (IL) systems having water is presented here. The presence of water can be intentional or unintentional. Since water severely affects IL's physical and chemical properties, it is very important not only to identify but also to understand the role of water. It will be evident from this short review that Raman spectroscopy has immensely helped to understand the IL/water mixture at the molecular level.
