Protic ionic liquid

Monoethanolamine oleate is a typical protic ionic liquid.

A protic ionic liquid is an ionic liquid that is formed via proton transfer from a Brønsted acid to a Brønsted base.[1] Unlike many other types of ionic liquids, which are formed through a series of synthesis steps,[2] protic ionic liquids are easier to create because the acid and base must simply be mixed together.[1]
