 Hydrophobic fluorinated ionic liquids, such as organic salts of bistriflimide or hexafluorophosphate, can form phases that are insoluble in both water and organic solvents, producing multiphasic liquids.Organofluorine ligands have long been featured in organometallic and coordination chemistry.One advantage to F-containing ligands is the convenience of 19F NMR spectroscopy for monitoring reactions.
