Abstract in brief
- The study reports the discovery of a naturally occurring protic ionic liquid (IL) formed during interactions between ants S. invicta and N. fulva, particularly when N. fulva detoxifies by grooming with its venom.
- The process involves formic acid from N. fulva's venom protonating the alkaloids in S. invicta venom, leading to the formation of a viscous liquid that differs from its original substances.
- This liquid, identified as a mixed-cation ammonium formate, exhibits properties typical of protic ILs, making it a rare example of a naturally produced ionic liquid.]
