“…As lubricants, beside silicone oil, we chose hexadecane, olive oil, and a phosphonium-based ionic liquid, tributylmethylphosphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [TBMP][NTf 2 ], as representative examples of conventional hydrocarbon oils, natural oils, and ionic liquids (Figure ). The latter can be important for the design of repellent surfaces with long-term stability at elevated temperatures, and in the context of supported ionic liquid catalysis (SILP). − The structural formula of olive oil, which is composed of multiple fatty acids, is simplified to oleic acid in Figure . As reactive species, we chose available molecules with a chemical structure matching that of the lubricant, but containing amino, thiol, or acid chloride groups.…”
