The first example of ammonium (NH 4+) solvate ionic liquids (ILs) is reported. The compound is ammonium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide-18-crown-6 (1/1), ie [NH 4+][Tf 2 N–]− 18C6 (1/1), where Tf represents SO 2 CF 3. Raman spectra, NMR spectra, and DFT calculations support the conclusion that the compound can be described as an ammonium solvate IL [NH 4+· 18C6][Tf 2 N–], which consists of 18C6-coordinated NH 4+ cations and Tf 2 N–anions. The conductivity of the ammonium solvate IL reaches as high as 10 mS cm–1 at 150 C. The negligible volatility below 200 C is confirmed by thermogravimetry. Compared with a hydronium (H 3 O+) solvate IL [H 3 O+· 18C6][Tf 2 N–], the ammonium solvate IL shows better thermal stability, which strongly suggests long residence time of 18C6 with NH 4+ cation. The stability may lead to the vehicular-type translational motions of NH 4+ cations with 18C6 solvents as proved by their self-diffusion coefficients. The findings regarding this ammonium solvate IL can provide the guidelines to design new NH 4+ or proton conductors for ammonium ion batteries and fuel cells, which work at medium-low temperatures of 150 C–200 C.
