Abstract

The study of solubility of 4-nitroaniline and its N,N-diethyl derivative in ionic liquids (ILs) of varying water content has shown that it is the interaction between water and the ILs' ions, and not with the solute, that is the most important factor determining the solute's preferential hydration parameter and thus the solvation shell structure.
