The influence of the polar, aprotic solvent propylene carbonate on the interfacial structure of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphat ([bmpy+] [FAP−]) on sapphire was investigated by high-energy x-ray reflectivity. Analysis of our experimental data revealed interfacial profiles comprised of alternating anion and cation enriched regions decaying gradually into the bulk liquid. With increasing solvent concentration, a decrease in the decay length of the interfacial layering structure was observed. Solvent molecules were found to accumulate laterally within the layers, hence screening the charges between like ions. The results are compared with the bulk structure of IL-solvent mixtures.
