We present the results of atomistic simulations of pyridinium- and triazolium-based ionic liquids. We model thermophysical properties and phase behavior of these liquids and compare our results with experimental data. The simulations give insight into the structure of these liquids as well as the chemical characteristics responsible for their macroscopic properties.
