The charge scaling effect in ionic liquids was explored on the basis of experimental and theoretical charge‐density analyses of [C 1 MIM][C 1 SO 4 ] employing the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) approach. Integrated QTAIM charges of the experimental (calculated) charge density of the cation and anion resulted in non‐integer values of ±0.90 (±0.87) e. Efficient charge transfer along the bond paths of the hydrogen bonds between the imidazolium ring and the anion was considered as the origin of these reduced charges. In addition, a detailed QTAIM analysis of the bonding situation in the [C 1 SO 4 ] − anion revealed the presence of negative π O →σ* S‐O hyperconjugation.
