Abstract

A new class of hydrophobic and polar ionic liquids was prepared by coupling hydrophobic tetraoctylphosphonium cation and polar phosphonate-derived anions. Mixtures of these ionic liquids and water showed lower critical solution temperature-type phase behaviour. Furthermore, these mixtures displayed thermoreversible, however, non-linear viscosity change despite their large content of water. The abrupt increase in the viscosity was explained by the occurrence of rheopectic gelation of the ionic liquid/water mixtures by external stimuli such as shear stress.
