Molecular dynamics simulations of ether-derivatized imidazolium-based room-temperature ionic liquids (EDI-RTILs), [C(5)O(2)mim][TFSI] and [C(5)O(2)mim][BF4], have been performed and compared with simulations of alkyl-derivatized analogues (ADI-RTILs). Simulations yield RTIL densities, self-diffusion coefficients and viscosity in excellent agreement with experimental data. Simulations reveal that structure in the EDI-RTILs, quantified by the extent of nanoscale segregation of tails as well as cation-ion and cation-cation correlations, is reduced compared to that observed in the ADI-RTILs. Significant correlation between ether tail oxygen atoms and imidazolium ring hydrogen atoms was observed in the EDI-RTILs. This correlation is primarily intramolecular in origin but has a significant intermolecular component. Competition of ether oxygen atoms with oxygen atoms of TFSI- or fluorine atoms of BF4- for coordination of the ring hydrogen atoms was found to reduce the extent of cation-anion correlation in the EDI-RTILs compared to the ADI-RTILs. The reduction in intermolecular correlation, particularly tail-tail segregation, as well as weakening of cation-anion specific interactions due to the ether tail, may account for the faster dynamics observed in the EDI-RTILs compared to ADI-RTILs.
