We report here on the synthesis of DABCO (diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) containing ionic liquids (ILs) using thermal and microwave assisted reaction methods. ILs were synthesized using several alkyl halides including ethoxyethyl, ethoxymethyl, hydroxylpropyl and butyl. Structures were confirmed using H-1 and C-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The halide salts were converted into NTf2 ILs using anion exchange. These new ILs were characterized for there thermal properties using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). NTf2-containing ILs melt at lower temperatures than halide-containing ILs, as expected. Many of the disubstituted compounds are high-melting salts and not ILs. However some species such as the dihydroxypropyl NTf2 IL exhibits melting points below 100 �C.
