48022 articles, patents, books and reports on ionic liquids, and counting
According to Chemical Abstracts Service, 3361 articles, patents, books and reports were published on ionic liquids in the year 2020. That is about 4% of the literature on this topic. How many of these should be cited? Only my papers? Only your papers? Only US-based papers? Probably not.--Smokefoot (talk) 21:22, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Pulled these pretty specialized refs out today, leaving the most recent one (still flimsy) from this group: P. Giridhar, K.A. Venkatesan, T.G. Srinivasan and P.R. Vasudeva Rao (2007), Electrochemical behavior of uranium(VI) in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and thermal characterization of uranium oxide deposit, Electrochimica Acta, Volume 52, Issue 9, Pages 3006-3012,

Cation images
The positively charged, yet aromatic, pyrrolidine derivative in the image of common cations seems very unlikely to me, is there any reference/source for claiming it as a common ionic liquid component. I don't even know how you'd make it conveniently, let alone it being common place.
 * You mean this weird pyrrole cation? Hmm, it would be radical cation, so yeah, seems suspicious. Mithoron (talk) 15:54, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
