    (Bristol : IOP, 2012) Roth, C.; Chatzipapadopoulos, S.; Kerlé, D.; Friedriszik, F.; Lütgens, M.; Lochbrunner, S.; Kühn, O.; Ludwig, R.
    Three imidazolium-based ionic liquids of the type [Cnmim] [NTf2] with different alkyl chain lengths (n = 1, 2 and 8) at the first position of the imidazolium ring were studied applying infrared, linear Raman and multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy. The focus has been on the CH-stretching region of the imidazolium ring, which is supposed to carry information about a possible hydrogen bonding network in the ionic liquid. The measurements are compared with calculations of the corresponding anharmonic vibrational spectra for a cluster of [C 2mim][NTf2] consisting of four ion pairs. The results support the hypothesis of weak hydrogen bonding involving the C(4)-H and C(5)-H groups and somewhat stronger hydrogen bonds of the C(2)-H groups.
