Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used in the investigation, while excess infrared spectra and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy are used to explore the data in detail. It has been found that the molecular solvents can interact with TFSI- (mainly with S=O and weakly with S-N-S group). AN interacts feebly with BMPyrr+ as compared with the strong interaction of DMSO. The strength of the interactions depends on the electron donating ability of the solvent. Upon mixing, hydrogen bonds regarding C-Hs in cation and S-N-S in anion are weakened, while that regarding S=O in anion is strengthened. Among the C-Hs which are connected directly with the N of the cation, Cl-H is the main interaction site for both DMSO and AN. This means that Cl-H is the most acidic hydrogen in pyrrolidinium cation.展开更多
