12. There have been a number of reports examining methods to prepare imidazole-based RTILs more quickly from less expensive starting materials. The most interesting of these is a method from the de Souza group: R. F. de Souza, V. Rech, J. Dupont, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2002, 344, 153-155.

20. There are exceptions to this trend. For example, with the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation, the tetrafluoroborate salt has a melting point of 15 °C, while the acetate salt has a much lower melting point of -45°C. J. S. Wilkes, M. J. Zaworotko, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1992, 965-967.
