A series of ester functionalized imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) with varying alkyl chain length were synthesized and characterized. Dicyanamide was chosen as the anion for these series of ILs. NMR (1H and 13C) and elemental analysis were used to confirm the structure of ILs. Thermal analysis (TGA)...
