Ionic liquids (ILs) are composed of molecular ions, held together by a strong Coulomb potential. They have ultra-low vapour pressures at room temperature allowing them to be studied using ultra-high vacuum (UHV) surface science techniques. Here I will discuss the adsorption, desorption and reaction of ILs on solid surfaces. Our results indicate that the IL is able to re-order on the surface. I will also discuss the development of a technique called Variable Period X-ray Standing Wave (VPXSW) which can determine the position of atoms in thick layers of material on a reflective surface.
