In this contribution we present a new class of ionic liquids with surprisingly low viscosities and high conductivities. The trialkylsulfonium dicyanamides are a very promising family of new ionic liquid materials especially for low temperature applications down to –20 °C. Their particularly low viscosity may help to overcome traditional problems of slow mass transport and low electrical conductivity.
