Ionic liquids based on doubly charged cations, often termed dicationic ionic liquids (DILs), offer robust physicochemical properties and low toxicity than conventional monocationic ionic liquids. In this design-based study, we used solid-state NMR spectroscopy to provide the interaction mechanism of two DILs, 1, n -bis(3-alkylimidazolium-1-yl) alkane dibromide ([C2 n (C7- n IM)2 ]2+ ·2Br- , n = 1, 6), with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl- sn -glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl- sn -glycero-3-phospho-(1'- rac -glycerol) (POPG) phospholipid membranes, to explain the low toxicity of DILs toward HeLa, Escherichia coli , Bacillus subtilis , and Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell lines...
