The system H2O – [BMIm]PF6 – TX-100 was investigated by means of PFG NMR and ROESY NMR.
An alternative model for the nano structure of H2O – [BMIm]PF6 – TX-100 is suggested.
TX-100 is not adsorbed at the interface between water and IL but forms normal micelles.
Both water and IL are in the same domain.
TX-100 acts not as a surfactant but as a dissociation enhancer for the IL.
