There is provided an ionic compound having attached thereto a silyloxy group. There is also provided methods of making this ionic compound as well as electrolytes, electrochemical cells and capacitors comprising this ionic compound.
furnishes an ionic liquid that undergoes methanolysis to crystalline 2-hydroxyethylimidazolium chloride (crystalstructure presented). Conversion to defined hydroxyethylimidazol-2-ylidene nickel complexes failed, but was accomplished with 1-methyl-3-acetophenyl-imidazolium bromide. The bis(NHC⋂O−) nickel(II) chelate is formed, rather than a methallylnickel monochelate, but with nickelocene a monochelate
