A new group of room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) based on the tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate (FAP) anion reveals intriguing features in comparison to conventional molten salts. Especially the improved chemical and thermal stability make them interesting candidates for a variety of technological processes. Using high energy x-ray reflectivity we get access to deeply buried solid-liquid interfaces and gain real space information with Å-resolution. In this study, we discuss reflection patterns of FAP based ionic liquids, recorded at different temperatures ranging from the highly supercooled metastable liquid state to 120 ∘C. By parameter refinement of a two-component distorted-crystal model we disclose pronounced layering of the anions and cations close to the solid wall. With increasing temperature, the decay length of the interfacial ordering decreases.
