The complex ionic network of 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium trifluoroacetate was simulated by means of the molecular dynamics methods over a time period of 100 ns. The influence of the anisotropy of the shape and charge distribution of both the cations and the anions on the local (molecular) and global (collective) structure and dynamics is analyzed. The distance-dependent g coefficients of the orientational probability function g(r, Omega) were found to be an excellent way to interpret local structure. Thereby, the combination and interrelation of individual g coefficients elucidate the mutual orientation. Dynamics at the molecular level is characterized by the time correlation function of the center-of-mass corrected molecular dipole moment mu(cm). Upon uniting the set of molecular dipoles to a single collective rotational dipole moment, M-D, dynamics on a global level is studied. Decomposing into subsets of cations and anions respective self terms as well as the prominent cross term can be extracted. This decomposition also enables a detailed peak assignment in dielectric spectra. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
