This study reveals the strong complementarity between X-ray/neutron scattering in detecting the complex segregated morphology in these systems at mesoscopic spatial scales. The use of MD simulations delivering a very good agreement with experimental data allows us to gain a robust understanding of the segregated morphology. The structural scenario is completed with determination of dynamic properties accessing the diffusive behavior and a relaxation map is provided for [C<sub>2</sub>mim][IM<sub>14</sub>] and [C<sub>8</sub>mim][IM<sub>14</sub>], highlighting their natures as fragile glass formers.</p> 2019-05-02 13:22:10 fluorous tail triphilic ionic liquid neutron scattering molecular dynamics (MD)
