Microscopic solvation environments in a prototype ionic liquid, bmimTf2N; 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, have been studied with the use of halides, X2and Xn−(X = I, Br;n= 3,5), as molecular probes. Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been used to detect these halogen species existing in bmimTf2N as well as in reference solvents including heptane, cyclohexane, KX/H2O and benzene. In heptane and cyclohexane, only free X2species are detected. In KX/H2O, only Xn−and, in benzene, only benzene-X2complexes are detected. On the contrary, free X2and Xn−are concomitantly detected in bmimTf2N, indicating that there are two distinct solvation environments in bmimTf2N, non-polar environments that solvate free X2and polar environments that stabilize Xn−. These two distinct solvation environments are most likely to arise from microscopic structural heterogeneity of ionic liquids.
