The structure of aerodynamically levitated liquid [Formula: see text] was measured by neutron diffraction with isotope substitution (NDIS). Classical and molecular dynamics simulations were performed and their results were found to be in close agreement with each other and the NDIS data. The results reveal that molten [Formula: see text] may be considered as an ionic liquid without any preference for particular short-range structural motifs. This article is part of the theme issue 'Exploring the length scales, timescales and chemistry of challenging materials (Part 1)'.
通过同位素取代中子衍射（NDIS）测量了气浮液体[化学式：见原文]的结构。进行了经典和分子动力学模拟，发现它们的结果彼此密切一致，并且与NDIS数据相符。结果表明，熔融的[化学式：见原文]可被视为一种离子液体，对特定的短程结构 motif 没有任何偏好。本文是主题为“探索具有挑战性材料的长度尺度、时间尺度和化学性质（第1部分）”的一部分。
