Excess enthalpy,density, and heat capacity for binary systems of alkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids + water

Experimental measurements of excess molar enthalpy, density, and isobaric molar heat capacity are presented for a set of binary systems ionic liquid + water as a function of temperature at atmospheric pressure. The studied ionic liquids are 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate. Excess molar enthalpy was measured at 303.15 K whereas density and heat capacity were determined within the temperature range (293.15 to 318.15) K. From experimental data, excess molar volume and excess molar isobaric heat capacity were calculated. The analysis of the excess properties reveals important differences between the studied ionic liquids which can be ascribed to their capability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.     

Aggregation Behavior of Pyridinium-Based Ionic Liquids in Aqueous Solution

Aggregation of the ionic liquids 1-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butylpyridinium triflate, 1-butyl-2-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium dicyanamide, and 1-octyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate in aqueous solution has been characterized at 298.15 K through density, ρ, speed of sound, u, and conductivity, σ, measurements. In addition, apparent molar volumes, V _φ , and isentropic compressibilities, κ _s , have been calculated from the experimental data. To characterize the formation of aggregates, the critical aggregation concentration of the ionic liquids, cac, the degree of ionization of the aggregates, β, and the standard Gibbs energy of aggregation, DG_m^°\Delta G_{\mathrm{m}}^{\circ}, have been obtained, with good agreement between results derived from the different methods. The dependence on the structural variation of these ions has been analyzed by comparing the results obtained for this series of ionic liquids.     

Excess molar properties for binary systems of alkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids + nitromethane. Experimental results and ERAS-model calculations

Density, isobaric molar heat capacity, and excess molar enthalpy were experimentally determined at atmospheric pressure for a set of binary systems ionic liquid + nitromethane. The studied ionic liquids were: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate. Density and heat capacity were obtained within the temperature range (293.15 to 318.15) K whereas excess molar enthalpy was measured at 303.15 K; excess molar volume and excess molar isobaric heat capacity were calculated from experimental data. The ERAS-model was applied in order to study the microscopic mechanisms involved in the mixing process. Although the studied compounds are not self-associated, ERAS-model describe adequately the experimental results if cross-association between both compounds is considered.     

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Two Pyridinium-Based Ionic Liquids

Thermophysical properties of two pyridinium-based ionic liquids, 1-ethyl-2-methylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and 1-propyl-2-methylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, have been measured from 278.15 to 323.15?K, with a temperature step of 2.5?K. The properties measured were: densities, speeds of sound, refractive indices, surface tensions, isobaric molar heat capacities, electrical conductivities and viscosities. Thermal properties were also recorded in the temperature range from 100 to 320?K. From the experimental results coefficients of thermal expansion, isentropic compressibilities, molar refraction and surface enthalpies and entropies have been determined. Moreover, a theoretical study has been performed using ab initio calculations, level of theory HF/6-31G(d). From this study, we have obtained qualitative information about the magnitude and the directionality of the cation?Canion interactions which allows a better understanding of the physico-chemical properties of these ionic liquids.     

Densities and refractive indices of imidazolium- and phosphonium-based ionic liquids: Effect of temperature,alkyl chain length,and anion

A systematic study of densities and refractive indices of 17 room temperature ionic liquids is presented at four different temperatures ranging from 293 K to 333 K. The ionic liquids are grouped into four families: 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide, [C_nmim][Ntf₂], ionic liquids (with n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14); 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [C_nmim][PF₆], ionic liquids (with n = 4, 6, 8); ionic liquids based on the trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium cation, [P_{6 6 6 14}], combined with the anions bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide, [Ntf₂], acetate, [OAc], and triflate, [OTf]; and [C₄mim]-based ionic liquids combined with the anions [OAc], [OTf], methylsulfate [MeSO₄], and tetrafluoroborate [BF₄]. The data obtained were analysed to determine the effect of (i) temperature, (ii) the alkyl chain length of the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cation, and (iii) the nature of the anion. Different empirical models for the calculation of the densities of the ionic liquids were tested. Molar refractions were also calculated from the volumetric and refractive index data and the values were discussed with the aim of checking their utility in obtaining insights on the intermolecular forces and behaviour in solution of the different ionic liquids.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria for mixtures of dodecane and ethanol with alkylsulfate-based ionic liquids

The ternary (liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data for mixtures of dodecane (C₁₂H₂₆) and ethanol with ionic liquids 1,3-dimethylimidazolium methylsulfate [Mmim][MeSO₄], 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, [Emim][MeSO₄] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, [Bmim][MeSO₄], were studied at T = 298.15 K and 0.101 MPa. The selectivity and solute distribution coefficient ratios determined from the data were used to examine the possibility of using these ionic liquids for extraction of ethanol from dodecane. The temperature dependency was investigated by measuring the LLE data for {dodecane + ethanol + [Mmim][MeSO₄]} at T = 313.15 K and 0.101 MPa. The Othmer–Tobias and Hand equations were used to test the consistency of the tie-line data. The tie-line data were correlated with the Non-Random Two Liquid (NRTL) equation which provided a good model and representation for the experimental results.     

Physical properties of the ternary mixture ethanol + water + 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride at 298.15 K

In this work, densities and refractive indices of the ternary mixture ethanol?+?water?+?1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C₆mim][Cl]) and of the binary systems containing the ionic liquids (ILs) have been measured at 298.15?K and atmospheric pressure.

The binary data were correlated with the Redlich–Kister equation, while the Cibulka equation was applied for the ternary system.     

(Solid + liquid) equilibria predictions of ionic liquid containing systems using COSMO-RS

(Solid + liquid) equilibria (SLE) prediction are an important phase equilibria property for ionic liquid (IL) mixtures especially when the IL exists as a solid. In this work, the SLE for the binary systems of (IL + thiophene) consisting of the ILs: n-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tosylate [BM₄Py][TOS], n-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate [BM₃Py][TOS], n-hexyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate [HM₃Py][TOS], and 1,4-dimethylpyridinium tosylate [M_1,4Py][TOS] are predicted using the quantum chemical based COSMO-RS (COnductor like Screening MOdel for Real Solvents) model. Initially, benchmarking studies are performed on binary mixtures which are known beforehand. The values of the predicted solubility are then compared with the experimental results by calculating the root mean square error (RMSE). The SLE predictions of the solubility of pyrene and dibenzothiophene in five different solvents were carried out giving an average RMSE of 4%. Further the applicability of COSMO-RS to binary systems consisting of (ionic liquid + alcohol) mixtures and (ionic liquid + hydrocarbons) are predicted. The ionic liquids concerned are n-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tosylate [BM₃Py][TOS] while the alcohols and hydrocarbons are 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, 1-octanol, 1-decanol, and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene respectively. The experimental data for the ionic liquid [BM₄Py][TOS] with thiophene gave the smallest deviation of 10.2%. The overall RMSE for IL–thiophene, IL–alcohol, and IL–hydrocarbons were 15%, 17.2% and 12.9% respectively. Thus the predicted solubility values were found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental values.     

Physical and Excess Properties for Binary Mixtures of 1-Methyl-3-Octylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate, [Omim][BF4], Ionic Liquid with Different Alcohols

In recent years, ionic liquids have increasingly gained importance as green solvents. The potential of these organic salts, which are moisture and air stable at room temperature, for new chemical processes and technologies is beginning to be recognized. Research on the thermophysical properties of ionic liquids and their mixtures form the basis for future applications. In this contribution, densities, refractive indices, speeds of sound and dynamic viscosities of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [Omim][BF₄], the room temperature ionic liquid (IL) in binary mixtures with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol and 2-propanol were measured at 298.15K and atmospheric pressure. The excess molar volumes and molar refraction, isentropic compressibility and dynamic viscosity changes of mixing have been calculated and were satisfactorily correlated by the Redlich–Kister polynomial.     

Density and viscosity of pyridinium-based ionic liquids and their binary mixtures with water at several temperatures

Densities and viscosities of two pyridinium-based ionic liquids, 1-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate [BuPy][BF₄] and 1-octylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate [OcPy][BF₄], and their binaries with water at atmospheric pressure and temperatures from (283.15 to 348.15) K were determined. The densities and viscosities of pure ionic liquids were correlated successfully by empirical equations. The Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann equations can fit the experimental viscosities for pure and binary of both IL systems. Excess molar volume and viscosity deviation were calculated for the binaries. The excess molar volumes have positive deviation from ideal solution while the viscosity deviations have negative values.     

Physicochemical and excess properties of binary mixtures of (1-alkyl-3-methylimidazoliumchloride/bromide + ethylene glycol) at <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis> = (288.15 to 333.15) K

In the present work, the density, ρ, refractive index, n_D, and dynamic viscosity, η, for four binary solutions containing ionic liquids [C_nmim]X (C_nmim = 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium; n = 6, 8; X = Cl, Br) and ethylene glycol (EG) were investigated at temperatures of 288.15–333.15 K and at ambient pressure. In addition, the excess molar volume, V_m^E, was calculated and correlated using the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The temperature effect on the density of the binary systems studied was expressed by a linear two-parameter equation. The variation in density, refractive index, and viscosity with the composition was described by polynomial equations. The influence of carbon chain-length and the anion of the ionic liquids, and the influence of the temperature on the physicochemical properties of the binary systems can be explained by comparison of the experimental results.     

室温离子液体BMIGaCl4热力学性质研究

An ionic liquid （IL） BMIGaCh was prepared by directly mixing GaCl3 and 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium chloride with molar ratio of 1/1 under argon atmosphere. The densities and surface tensions of this pure ionic liquid were determined in the temperature range of 268.15 to （338.15±0.1） K. A new theoretical model of ionic liquids, an interstice model, was applied to calculate the thermal expansion coefficient of IL BMIGaCh, a, and the magnitude order of its value calculated by the theory was the same as experimental one. Both Raman scattering and ab initio calculations indicate that GaCl4^- is the only species containing Ga in the ionic liquid BMIGaCl4.

Density, refractive index, and dynamic viscosity of two new ionic liquids involving the 1-benzyl-3-methyl imidazolium cation and the common anions chloride and methylsulfate have been determined and correlated as a function of temperature. Volumetric properties for the ionic liquids are calculated from the density and the results are also enclosed. The Lorentz–Lorenz, Dale–Gladstone, Eykman, Oster, Arago–Biot, and Newton equations, as well as a modified Eykman were used to correlate satisfactorily the relation between the densities and refractive indices of the selected ionic liquids. The influence of the benzyl group on the density was compared with other alkyl imidazolium cations and the same anions.

The amino acid ionic liquids(AAILs) [C3mim][Gly](1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine) and [C4mim][Gly](1-butyl-3methylimidazolium glycine) have been prepared by the neutralization method and characterized by 1 H NMR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC).The values of their density,surface tension and refractive index were measured at(298.15 ± 0.05) K.Since the AAILs can form strong hydrogen bonds with water,small amounts of water are difficult to remove from the AAILs by common methods.In order to eliminate the effect of the impurity water,the standard addition method(SAM) was applied to these measurements.A new concept which is called the ionic parachor has been put forward.The [C n mim] + cations were treated as a group of reference ions and the individual values of their ionic parachor were evaluated in terms of an extrathermodynamic assumption.Then,using the values of the ionic parachor of reference ions,the parachor,surface tension γ and refractive index n D of the ionic liquids investigated in this work were estimated.The estimated values correlate quite well with the corresponding experimental values.     

Effect of the cation structure on the thermal stability of ionic liquids,quaternary ammonium tetrachloroferrates(III)

New ionic liquids, tetrachloroferrates(III) of quaternary ammonium salts [(CH₃)₂NR₁R₂]FeCl₄ [R₁ = CH₃; C₄H₉; (CH₂)₃CN. R₂ = C₁₀H₂₁; C₁₆H₃₃; CH₂CH₂OH; CH₂C₆H₅], were synthesized and their thermal stability was investigated in air in the range 25–600°С. The mechanism of thermal decomposition of the investigated ionic liquids is suggested in agreement with Hofmann’s rule as β-E2-elimination.     

Dissociation Behavior of <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>(+)-Lactic Acid in Aqueous Solutions of (1-Alkyl-4-methylpyridinium bromide + Poly (ethyleneglycol)) at <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis> = (288.15–318.15) K

The effect of 1-alkyl-4-methylpyridinium based ionic liquids on the conductivity behavior of l(+)-lactic acid (LaH) was studied in Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) aqueous solutions. The molar conductivities of LaH in the aqueous solutions of PEG, (PEG + 1-hexyl-4-methylpyridinium bromide) and (PEG + 1-octyl-4-methylpyridinium bromide) were measured over the temperature ranges of 288.15–318.15 K. The molar conductivity data were analyzed by applying the Quint–Viallard (QV) conductivity equation to determine the limiting molar conductivities (Λ ⁰) and dissociation constants (\( K_{\text{D}} \)). The results show that the values of limiting molar conductivity increased as the temperature increased, which indicates that the dissociation process is endothermic. The \( K_{\text{D}} \) values were also used to calculate the dissociation standard thermodynamic functions (\( \Delta G_{\text{D}}^{0} \), \( \Delta S_{\text{D}}^{0} \) and \( \Delta H_{\text{D}}^{0} \)). The results revealed that the dissociation process of LaH is controlled by entropy at all temperatures.     

On the self-aggregation and fluorescence quenching aptitude of surfactant ionic liquids

The aggregation behavior in aqueous solution of a number of ionic liquids was investigated at ambient conditions by using three techniques: fluorescence, interfacial tension, and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. For the first time, the fluorescence quenching effect has been used for the determination of critical micelle concentrations. This study focuses on the following ionic liquids: [Cnmpy]Cl (1-alkyl-3-methylpyridinium chlorides) with different linear alkyl chain lengths (n=4, 10, 12, 14, 16, or 18), [C12mpip]Br (1-dodecyl-1-methylpiperidinium bromide), [C12mpy]Br (1-dodecyl-3-methylpyridinium bromide), and [C12mpyrr]Br (1-dodecyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide). Both the influence of the alkyl side-chain length and the type of ring in the cation (head) on the CMC were investigated. A comparison of the self-aggregation behavior of ionic liquids based on 1-alkyl-3-methylpyridinium and 1-alkyl-3-methylpyridinium cations is provided. It was observed that 1-alkyl-3-methylpyridinium ionic liquids could be used as quenchers for some fluorescence probes (fluorophores). As a consequence, a simple and convenient method to probe early evidence of aggregate formation was established.

The (liquid + liquid) equilibrium data (LLE) for the extraction of toluene from heptane with different ionic liquids (ILs) based on the alkylsulfate anion (R-SO₄) was determined at T = 313.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The effect of more complex R-SO₄ anions on capacity of extraction and selectivity in the liquid–liquid extraction of toluene from heptane was studied. The ternary systems were formed by {heptane + toluene + 1,3-dimethylimidazolium methylsulfate ([mmim][CH₃SO₄]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogensulfate ([emim][HSO₄]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([emim][CH₃SO₄]), or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate ([emim][C₂H₅SO₄])}. The degree of quality of the experimental LLE data was ascertained by applying the Othmer–Tobias correlation. The phase diagrams for the ternary systems were plotted, and the tie lines correlated with the NRTL model compare satisfactorily with the experimental data.

Measurement and Correlation of the Ionic Conductivity of Ionic Liauid-Molecular Solvent Solutions

The ionic conductivity of the solutions formed from 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate （[Bmim][BF4]） or 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate （[Bmim][PF6]） and different molecular solvents （MSs） were measured at 298.15 K. The molar conductivity of the ionic liquids （ILs） increased dramatically with increasing concentration of the MSs. It was found that the molar conductivity of the IL in the solutions studied in this work could be well correlated by the molar conductivity of the neat ILs and the dielectric constant and molar volume of the MSs.
