On p. 3102 ff., Ludwig et al. report infrared measurements on trace amounts of water dissolved in ionic liquids. Using water as a sensitive probe they show that ionic liquids can be more hydrophobic than molecular liquids. This is a surprising result, given that the liquid material consists solely of ions.

Using water as a sensitive probe they show thationic liquids can be more hydrophobic than molecular liquids. This is a surprisingresult, given that the liquid material consists solely of ions.
