Abstract

The use of 5-phenyltetrazole, a bioisostere of benzoic acid, as an anion source to prepare an ionic liquid is described for the first time. Tetrabutylphosphonium 5-phenyltetrazolate undergoes phase separation from water with lower critical solution temperature phase behavior, in contrast to completely water miscible
tetrabutylphosphonium benzoate, and also exhibits strong complexation with water with both eutectic and peritectic behavior that has not previously been observed in ionic liquid + water systems. The anhydrous and trihydrate salts were isolated and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
