The surface structure (surface composition and orientation) of phosphonium-based ionic liquids in the system [P888x][Cl] is studied under systematic variation of the length of one alkyl chain (x = 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 14) by SFG. The nonlinear optical method of sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG) obtains its surface sensitivity due to the requirement of the broken centro-symmetry, which is present at surfaces and interfaces [1]. Vibrations of both CH2- and CH3-groups from the alkyl chains of the [P888x]+ ion are observed. For this type of phosphonium-based ionic liquids a model for the surface structure will be proposed [2].
Additionally we have performed quantum-chemical calculations using density functional theory (DFT), as demonstrated recently [3].
