Sweet simulations: Molecular dynamics simulations of the solvation environment of isolated glucose monomers in a choride-based ionic liquid (IL) reveal that the sugar prefers to bind to four chloride anions. Coordination shells involving only three anions, two of which are bridging chlorides, are also observed (see picture). The presence of these lower chloride:glucose ratios explains the unexpected high degree of solvation of glucose in these Ils.
