For NTf2–-based ILs coupled with different cations of the imidazolium and pyrrolidinium families, running integrals of the Green–Kubo expression, ⟨ζ(t)⟩Fit, for the viscosity using the Maginn et al. method69 of calculation at 400 K. The most important finding, besides the actual viscosity value derived at a long time in each case, is the time it takes for each of these functions to converge to a flat value. In all cases, not only is the viscosity higher for the pyrrolidinium-based ILs but also the time it takes them to approach asymptotic values is always longer than for the imidazolium ILs.
