The mixing states of two imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with different anions, 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (C 8 mimBF 4 ) and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (C 8 mimTFSA), with three molecular liquids (MLs), methanol (MeOH), acetonitrile (AN), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), have been investigated on both mesoscopic and microscopic scales using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), infrared (IR), and 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Additionally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been conducted on the six combinations of ILs and MLs to observe the states of their mixtures on the atomic level. The SANS profiles of the IL−ML mixtures suggested that MeOH molecules only form clusters in both C 8 mimBF 4 and C 8 mimTFSA, whereas AN and DMSO were homogeneously mixed with ILs on the SANS scale. MeOH clusters are more enhanced in BF 4 − −IL than TFSA − −IL. The microscopic interactions among IL cations, anions, and MLs should contribute to the mesoscopic mixing states of the IL−ML mixtures. In fact, the IL cation−anion, cation−ML, anion−ML, and ML−ML interactions observed by IR, NMR, and MD simulations clarified the reasons for the mixing states of the IL−ML binary solutions observed by the SANS experiments. In neat ILs, the imidazolium ring of the IL cation more strongly interacts with BF 4− than TFSA − due to the higher charge density of the former. The interaction of anions with the imidazolium ring is more easily loosened on adding MLs to ILs in the order of DMSO > MeOH > AN. It does not significantly depend on the anions. However, the replacement of the anion on the imidazolium ring by an ML depends on the anions; the replacement is more proceeded in the order of MeOH > DMSO > AN in BF 4 − −IL, while DMSO > MeOH > AN in TFSA − −IL. On the other hand, the solvation of both anions by MLs is stronger in the order of MeOH > DMSO ≈ AN. Despite the stronger interactions of MeOH with both cations and anions, MeOH molecules are heterogeneously mixed with both ILs to form clusters in the mixtures. Therefore, the self-hydrogen bonding among MeOH molecules most markedly governs the mixing state of the binary solutions among the abovementioned interactions.
