For a given N 1 1 2 pair of ionic liquids (ILs) with the same N, the ILs differ only in the symmetry of the alkyl substitution on the imidazolium ring of the cation. Small-wide-angle X-ray scattering measurements indicate that, for a given symmetric/asymmetric IL pair, the structural heterogeneities are larger in the asymmetric IL than in the symmetric IL. The correlation length of structural he
