pubmed-article:19308942 | pubmed:abstractText | Similarities and differences: Far-infrared spectra of protic ionic liquids could be assigned to intermolecular bending and stretching modes of hydrogen bonds. The characteristics of the low-frequency spectra resemble those of water. Both liquids form three-dimensional network structures, but only water is capable of building tetrahedral configurations.
