“…Additionally, because quaternary ammonium salts with short alkyl chain lengths are known to decompose upon melting, 1 H and 13 C-NMR analysis of pure [N 2,2,2,2 ]Br and [N 2,2,2,2 ]Cl were performed after melting with slow and fast heating to verify the extent of degradation, along with the spectra of the salts at room temperature for comparison; Figures S4 and S5 of the Supporting Information. No differences in the spectra or new NMR signals were observed when melting [N 2,2,2,2 ]Cl with slow heating, when compared with the pure salt, indicating that no decomposition products are formed.…”
