Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties.The protic ionic liquids (PILs) are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell electrolytes, providing electrolytes of a type that are simply not available in systems in which water acts as acid or base in the proton transfer process. We believe that hydrogen bonding contacts play an important role in the solvating action of PILs and that significant information can be extracted from the TOSCA spectra. We have developed a series of nitrate based PILs, where the complex environment can create hydrogen bonded networks that facilitate the nitrates formation in a solid form, plastic crystals, waxes and powders. The nitrates give excellent INS spectra as observed previously.To understand the system, we propose to study the precursors of the nitrates,the simple volatile amines.
