A family of new fluorine‐containing ionic liquids (3–14) was synthesized in high yield by the reaction of N‐alkylpyrrolidine, N‐methylpiperidine and fluorinated 1,3‐diketones: 1,1,1,5,5,5‐hexafluoroacetylacetone, 1,1,1‐trifluoro‐2,4‐pentanedione and 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐1‐phenyl‐1,3‐butanedione. Their properties, such as the phase‐transition temperature, density, and viscosity, were determined. Most of them show relatively low melting points and low viscosities. The influence of fluorinated 1,3‐diketonate anions and the structural variation in cyclic amine cations on the above physicochemical properties was examined. X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction analysis of compound 7 confirms the proton transfer from 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐1‐phenyl‐1,3‐butanedione to N‐butylpyrrolidine. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
