Intermolecular Forces in an Ionic Liquid ([Mmim][Cl]) versus Those in a Typical Salt (NaCl)

A subtle difference: In ionic liquids the “weak” dispersion forces have a significant impact on the shape of the potential energy surface, which results in a shallow profile when all of the contributions are considered. Such findings are commonly accepted to determine the liquid state.
