Figure 8

Schematic representation of the MD-based intramolecular hydrogen bonding in 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium acetate, between the ether oxygen, C2-H, part (a), and C4-H part (b) of the 1,3-disubstituted imidazolium ion. This hydrogen bonding “deactivates” the ether oxygen, which is a Lewis base. Figure reproduced with permission from [53]; Elsevier, 2019.
