We present the first deuteron quadrupole coupling constants (DQCCs) for selected protic ionic liquids (PILs) measured by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The experimental data are supported by dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D3) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The DQCCs of the N−D bond in the triethylammonium cations are the lowest reported for deuterons in PILs, indicating strong hydrogen bonds between ions. The NMR coupling parameters are compared to those in amides, peptides, and proteins. The DQCCs show characteristic behavior with increasing interaction strength of the counterion and variation of the H-bond motifs. We report the similar presence of the quadrupolar splitting pattern and the narrow liquid line in the NMR spectra over large temperature ranges, indicating the heterogeneous nature of PILs. Hydrogen bonds between ions: The first deuteron quadrupole coupling constants for protic ionic liquids were measured by solid-state NMR spectroscopy and compared to those in amides, peptides, and proteins. In combination with quantum chemical calculations and MD simulations, substantial information about the structural and dynamic heterogeneity in ionic liquids is provided.
