Abstract: Sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy was used to characterize the interfacial properties of two ionic liquids as well as 1-methylimidazole and 1-butylimidazole on a quartz surface and Raman spectroscopy was used to identify vibrations and conclude whether they were symmetric or asymmetric. It was concluded that larger the anion the more the imidazolium ring was tilted towards normal.
