Volumetric and compressibility behaviour of ionic liquid, 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate in organic solvents at T = 298.15 K

Density and speed of sound measurements have been made on the systems containing the ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF₆]) and some organic solvents having a wide range of dielectric constants. Similar studies have been carried out for tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate ([TBA][PF₆]), which has common anion ([PF₆]⁻) with the studied ionic liquid. For the systems investigated, the apparent molar volumes and apparent molar isentropic compressibilities were determined and fitted to the Redlich–Mayer and the Pitzer equations from which the corresponding limiting values were obtained. These limiting values were used to obtain some information about ion–solvent interactions. Furthermore, using the ionic limiting apparent volume values for [TBA]⁺ from the literature and limiting apparent molar volume for the ionic liquid and [TBA][PF₆] obtained in this work, the ionic limiting apparent molar volume values for the cation [BMIM]⁺ in different organic solvents were also estimated.     

Volumetric Properties of Binary Mixtures of the Ionic Liquid 1-Butyl-3-Methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate with Aniline

The densities of binary mixtures of an ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [bmim][BF₄], with an aromatic compound, aniline, have been determined over the full range of compositions and over the temperature range 298.15 to 313.15 K at atmospheric pressure using a vibrating-tube densimeter (DMA4500). Excess molar volumes ( V_m^EV_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}} ) have been obtained from these experimental results, and were fitted by the fourth-order Redlich–Kister equation. In addition, partial molar volumes, apparent molar volumes and partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been calculated for each component. Our results show that values of V_m^EV_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}} decrease slightly when the temperature increases in this system. The results have been interpreted in terms of ion-dipole interactions and structural factors of the ionic liquid and the organic molecular liquid.     

Study of the Volumetric Properties of the Aqueous Ionic Liquid 1-Methyl-3-pentylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate

This paper reports the densities of aqueous solutions of the ionic liquid (IL) 1-methyl-3-pentylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([pmim][BF₄]) that were measured from 278.15 to 343.15 K, at intervals of 5 K, using an Anton Parr model DMA 4500 oscillating U-tube densitometer. The apparent molar volume, ^φ V _B, and the partial molar volume of [pmim][BF₄], , were calculated. The values of the apparent molar volume, ^φ V _B, were fitted to Pitzer’s model for volumetric properties by the method of least-squares, which allowed the partial molar volume of the IL at infinite dilution, , and Pitzer’s parameters, β _M,X ^(0)V and β _M,X ^(1)V , to be obtained. The small standard deviations of the fits show that Pitzer’s model is also appropriate for representing the volumetric properties of aqueous solutions of the ionic liquid [pmim][BF₄].     

Al electroplating on the AZ121 Mg alloy in an EMIC–AlCl3 ionic liquid containing ethylene glycol

To improve the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys, an Al layer was electrodeposited on the Mg surface from an ionic liquid of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (EMIC) and aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) at 283?K. A smooth surfaced Al electrodeposit can be electroplated in the AlCl₃–EMIC ionic liquid by pulse electrolysis at 6.7?Hz and a duty ratio of 0.67. A denser and flatter Al layer was successfully electroplated on AZ121 substrate at the lower temperature of 283?K in an AlCl₃–EMIC ionic liquid with 0.1?M ethylene glycol added.     

Thermodynamics of aqueous phosphate solutions: Apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of the sodium and tetramethylammonium salts at 25°C

A Picker flow microcalorimeter and a flow densimeter were used to obtain apparent molar heat capacities and apparent molar volumes of aqueous solutions of Na₃PO₄ and mixtures of Na₂HPO₄ and NaH₂PO₄. Identical measurements were also made on solutions of tetramethylammonium salts to evaluate the importance of anion-cation interaction. The experimental apparent molar properties were analyzed in terms of a simple extended Debye-Hückel model and the Pitzer ion-interaction model, both with a suitable treatment for the effect of chemical relaxation on heat capacities, to derive the partial molar properties of H₂PO ₄ ^– (aq), HPO ₄ ^2– (aq) and PO ₄ ^3– (aq) at infinite dilution. The volume and heat capacity changes for the second and third ionization of H₃PO₄(aq) have been determined from the experimental data. The importance of ionic complexation with sodium is discussed.     

Solvent-Impregnated Resins Based on the Mixture of (2-Diphenylphosphoryl)-4-ethylphenoxy)methyl) diphenylphosphine Oxide and Ionic Liquid for Nd(III) Recovery from Nitric Acid Media

Novel solvent-impregnated resins (SIRs) were prepared by treatment of styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer (LPS-500) with mixtures of the promising polydentante extractant (2-diphenylphosphoryl)-4-ethylphenoxy)methyl)diphenylphosphine oxide (L) and an ionic liquid [C₄mim]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻for the extraction chromatography recovery of Nd(III) from nitric acid solutions. It was shown that introduction of the ionic liquid into the SIR composition results in considerable enhancement of the Nd(III) recovery efficiency compared with resin impregnated only by L in slightly acidic media. The influence of the L: ionic liquid molar ratio in the SIRs composition, their percentages, concentration of metal and HNO₃ in the eluent, and acid type on the value of synergistic effect and adsorption efficiency of Nd(III) recovery was studied. The SIR containing 40% of mixture of L and [C₄mim]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻ with molar ratio 2:1 turned out to be the most efficient. The selectivity of Nd(III) separation from light and heavy rare-earth elements was studied and the optimal conditions of Nd(III) adsorption recovery and stripping by this SIR were chosen. It was found that in recovery efficiency of Nd(III) developed SIR exceeded the SIR containing Cyanex 923 (a mixture of monodentate trialkylphosphine oxides) and [C₄mim]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻.     

The salting-out effect and phase separation in aqueous solutions of tri-sodium citrate and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide

The aim of this work is to obtain further evidence about the salting-out effect produced by the addition of tri-sodium citrate to aqueous solutions of water miscible ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₄mim][Br]) by evaluating the effect of tri-sodium citrate on the thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions of this ionic liquid. Experimental measurements of density and sound velocity at different temperatures ranging from (288.15 to 308.15) K, the refractive index at 308.15 K and the liquid–liquid phase diagram at different temperatures ranging from (288.15 to 338.15) K for aqueous solutions containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₄mim][Br]) and tri-sodium citrate (Na₃Cit) are taken. The apparent molar volume of transfer of [C₄mim][Br] from water to aqueous solutions of Na₃Cit have positive values and it increases by increasing salt molality. Although at high IL molality, the apparent molar isentropic compressibility shows similar behaviour with that of the apparent molar volume. However at low concentrations of IL, the apparent molar isentropic compressibility of transfer of [C₄mim][Br] from water to aqueous solutions of Na₃Cit have negative values. The effects of temperature and the addition of Na₃Cit and [C₄mim][Br] on the liquid–liquid phase diagram of the investigated system have been studied. It was found that an increase in temperature caused the expansion of the one-phase region. The presence of Na₃Cit triggers a salting-out effect, leading to significant upward shifts of the liquid–liquid de-mixing temperatures of the system. The effect of temperature on the phase-forming ability in the system investigated has been studied based on a salting-out coefficient obtained from fitting the binodal values to a Setschenow-type equation for each temperature. Based on cloud point values, the energetics of the clouding process have been estimated and it was found that both of entropy and enthalpy are the driving forces for biphasic formation.     

Biphasic ethylene polymerisation using ionic liquid over a titanocene catalyst activated by an alkyl aluminium compound

1-n-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminate ([BMIM]⁺[AlCl₄]⁻) was applied to biphasic ionic liquid/hexane ethylene polymerisation as a medium of the Cp₂TiCl₂ titanocene catalyst activated by alkylaluminium compounds (MAO, AlEt₂Cl, AlEt₃). The best results were obtained using AlEt₂Cl. The results show that catalyst recycling, higher ethylene pressure, and greater Al/Ti molar ratio along with a greater volume of the ionic liquid phase enhance catalyst activity. The polyethylene gathered from the hexane phase is characterised primarily by its high purity. Its physical properties remain polyethylene obtained over a heterogeneous metallocene catalyst. Thus, biphasic ionic liquid polymerisation using a metallocene catalyst is possible and offers interesting technological implications.     

Apparent Molar Volume and Isentropic Compressibility for the Binary Systems {Methyltrioctylammonium Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide + Methyl Acetate or Methanol} and (Methanol + Methyl Acetate) at <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>=298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K and Atmospheric Pressure

The densities and speeds of sound for binary mixtures containing the solute ionic liquid (IL) methyltrioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([MOA]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻), solute/solvent methanol, and solvent methyl acetate have been measured at 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K at atmospheric pressure. The binary mixtures studied are ([MOA]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻ + methyl acetate or methanol), and (methanol + methyl acetate). The apparent molar volume, V _φ and the apparent molar isentropic compressibility, k _φ , have been evaluated from the experimental density and speed of sound data, respectively. The parameters of a Redlich–Mayer type equation were fitted to the apparent molar volume and apparent molar isentropic compressibility data. The apparent molar volume and apparent molar isentropic compressibility at infinite dilution, V_f⁰V_{\phi}^{0} and k_f⁰k_{\phi}^{0}, respectively, of the binary solutions have also been calculated at each temperature. The infinite dilution apparent molar volume indicates that intermolecular interactions for (IL + methyl acetate) mixtures are stronger than for (IL + methanol) mixtures at all temperatures except at 298.15 K, and that V_f⁰V_{\phi}^{0} for the (IL + methyl acetate or methanol) binary systems increases with an increase in temperature. For the (methanol + methyl acetate) system the intermolecular interaction are weaker and V_f⁰V_{\phi}^{0} also increases with an increase in temperature. Values of the infinite dilution apparent molar expansibility, E_f⁰E_{\phi}^{0}, indicate that the interaction between (IL + methyl acetate) is greater than for (IL + methanol) and (methanol + methyl acetate).     

Solution Properties of Ternary D-Glucose + 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Ethyl Sulfate + Water Solutions at 298.15 K

The effect of an ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate ([EMIm]ESO₄), on the thermophysical properties of aqueous D-glucose solutions including density, viscosity, and electrical conductivity have been investigated at 298.15 K. Using these properties, the apparent molar volumes, V _φ , the viscosity B-coefficients and the molar conductivities, Λ _m, have been computed for the ternary D-glucose + [EMIm]ESO₄+water solutions. The V _φ values were used to calculate the standard partial molar volumes, V_f⁰V_{\phi}^{0}, and transfer volumes, D_trV_f⁰\Delta_{\mathrm{tr}}V_{\phi}^{0}, of D-glucose from water to aqueous ionic liquid solutions. These volumetric parameters, for all the solutions studied, are positive and increase monotonically with increasing the concentration of [EMIm]ESO₄. These observations have been interpreted in terms of the interactions between D-glucose and ionic liquid in the aqueous solution. The viscosity data were analyzed in terms of the Jones-Dole equation to determine the values of the viscosity B-coefficients. The calculated conductometric parameters, the limiting molar conductivities, Λ ₀, the association constants, K _a, and the Walden products, Λ ₀ η, for [EMIm]ESO₄, decrease with increasing concentration of D-glucose. This trend suggests that the ions of an ionic liquid do not have the same hydrodynamic size in the presence of D-glucose molecules (ILs) and consequently provides evidence for the dehydration effect of the ionic liquid in aqueous D-glucose solutions.     

Partial molar volumes of tetraalkylammonium hydroxides in aqueous solution at 25°C

The densities of aqueous solutions of tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, tetra-n-propylammonium and tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide have been measured at 25°C in the concentration range 0.1–1.0 mol-kg^-1 . The apparent and partial molar volumes are calculated from the density measurements. The apparent molar volumes of the solutes show considerable deviation from the Debye-Hülckel limiting law, even at high dilution. The relation for the concentration dependence of the apparent molar volume is given in an analytical form. The limiting apparent molar volumes of the solutes are split into their ionic components by an extrathermodynamic approach and are discussed in terms of ion-solvent interactions. In this way, the limiting partial molar ionic volume for the hydroxide ion is found to be 2 cm³-mol^-1.     

Volumetric and Viscometric Studies of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-Bis(salicylaldehyde)-1,3-diaminopropane Schiff Base (Salpr) in Ionic Liquid + DMF solutions

The apparent molar volumes and viscosities of N,N′-bis(salicylaldehyde)-1,3-diaminopropane Schiff base (Salpr) have been determined in ionic liquid {1-pentyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([PnMIm]Br)} + N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions at 298.15 K from density and viscosity measurements using a vibrating tube densimeter and übbelohde type viscometer, respectively. These data have been used to calculate standard partial molar volumes, V_f ⁰V_{\phi} ^{0}, transfer partial molar volumes, Δ_tr V ⁰, and viscosity B-coefficients of the solutions. The transfer partial molar volumes are negative, and decrease with increasing the concentration of ionic liquid for all of the investigated solutions. It found that this ionic liquid interacts strongly with the Schiff base (Salpr) and has desolvation effect on the Schiff base molecules.     

Interactions of Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids with Water Studied by Density and Speed of Sound Measurements: Effect of the Chain Length of an Alkyl Substituent on the Imidazolium Ion

Densities and speeds of sound of three ionic liquids (ILs), 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazoliumtetrafluoroborate (C₂mimBF₄), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate (C₄mimBF₄) and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate (C₆mimBF₄) were measured in aqueous solutions at (288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15) K. These data were used to calculate the volumetric properties apparent molar volume and apparent molar isentropic compression as a function of molality. Infinite dilution values for these properties were evaluated by an extrapolation procedure based on Redlich–Meyer type equations. Apparent molar isobaric expansions at infinite dilution were also obtained from the slopes of the apparent molar volume at infinite dilution versus temperature. All these properties are interpreted in terms of IL–water interactions. The hydrolysis of the \( {\text{BF}}_{4}^{ - } \) anion of the ILs and its effects on the results is discussed.     

Volumetric Study of Binary Solvent Mixtures Constituted by Amphiphilic Ionic Liquids at Room Temperature (1-Alkyl-3-Methylimidazolium Bromide) and Water

At room temperature, the 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (DMImBr) is a long alkyl chain imidazolium ionic liquid miscible with water and forming a gel zone between 5 and 40% w/w H₂O. We measured the density of the liquid mixtures of water and DMImBr. We determined the apparent molar volume of the molten salt for dilute solutions. For the concentrated solutions the partial molar volume of each component was evaluated by a perturbation method. These results are shown to be substantially different from those obtained with a short chain bromide ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (BMImBr). The amphiphilic ionic liquid (DMImBr) has been shown to form micelles and its critical micelle concentration (cmc) has been determined. Below the cmc, the Debye–Hückel limiting law for 1:1 electrolytes describes very accurately the behavior of low concentrations of the DMImBr salt in water. Above the cmc, the partial molar volume of the micellized monomer was approximately equal to the molar volume of the pure fused salt. The partial molar volume of water in these mixtures was similar to that of pure water. The concentrated solutions behave like mixtures of interpenetrated phases.     

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.     

A Novel Room Temperature Ionic Liquid Extraction Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Germanium in Natural Water with Methybenzeneazosalicylfluorone

Abstract

This paper describes a highly sensitive and selective extraction spectrophotometric method for determination of trace germanium in natural water with new a chromogenic reagent methybenzeneazosalicylfluorone abbreviated as MBASF, in which a typical room temperature ionic liquid, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate abbreviated as [C₄mim][PF₆] was used as novel medium for liquid/liquid extraction of germanium(IV). In the presence of TritonX‐100, MBASF reacted with germanium(IV) to form a red complex rapidly, the complex was then extracted into the [C₄mim][PF₆] phase, the absorbance of the complex in ionic liquid at 496 nm was recorded and used to determine trace germanium(IV). The apparent molar absorptivity of the complex and the detection limit for the real sample were found to be 3.12×10⁶ L mol^?1 cm^?1 and 0.2 ng mL^?1, respectively. The absorbance of the complex at 496 nm increases linearly with the concentration up to 4 µg of germanium (IV) in 250 mL of aqueous solution. The interference study show the determination of germanium is free from the interference of almost all positive and negative ions found in the natural water samples. The determination of germanium in natural water was carried out by the present method and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The results were satisfactorily comparable so that the applicability of the proposed method was confirmed using the real samples. Moreover, the extraction mechanism with the ionic liquid system was also investigated. We think the extraction performance of the ionic liquid system is a combination of ion‐pairing effect between imidazolium cation and basic solute in the aqueous phase with the dissolution of polar molecule in ionic liquid phase. A wise choice of the appropriate combination of anion with imidazolium cation hydrophobicity allows playing with solute selectivity.     

Ideal and non-ideal behaviour of {1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolydinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide + γ-butyrolactone} binary mixtures

Density, electrical conductivity and viscosity of binary liquid mixtures of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolydinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [bmpyrr][NTf₂], with γ-butyrolactone (GBL) were measured at temperatures from (293.15 to 323.15) K and at atmospheric pressure over the whole composition range. Excess molar volumes have been calculated from the experimental densities and fitted with the Redlich–Kister polynomial equation. These values are positive over the whole range of ionic liquid mole fraction and at all temperatures. In the range between 0.55 and 0.6 [bmpyrr][NTf₂] mole fraction, an ideal behaviour of the ionic liquid mixture with molecular solvent was observed for the first time. Other volumetric properties, such as isobaric thermal expansion coefficients, partial molar volumes and partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been also calculated, in order to obtain information about interactions between GBL and selected ionic liquid. Positive values of these properties for both components also indicate weaker interactions between GBL and IL compared to the pure components. From the viscosity results, the Angell strength parameter was calculated and found to be 3.24 indicating that [bmpyrr][NTf₂] is a “fragile” liquid. From the volumetric and transport properties obtained, formation of the [bmpyrr]⁺ micellar structures was also discussed. All the results are compared to those obtained for imidazolium-based ionic liquid with GBL.     

Estimation of Physico-chemical Properties of Ionic Liquid EPReO_4 Using Surface Tension and Density

An ionic liquid (IL) EPReO₄ (N‐ethylpyridinium rheniumate) was prepared. The density and surface tension values of the IL were determined in the temperature range of 293.15–343.15 K. The ionic volume and surface entropy of the IL were estimated by extrapolation, respectively. In terms of Glasser's theory, the standard molar entropy and lattice energy of the IL were estimated, respectively. Using Kabo's and Rebelo's methods, the molar enthalpy values of vaporization of the IL, Δ^g_lH⁰_m (298 K), at 298 K and, Δ^g_lH⁰_m (T_b), at hypothetical normal boiling point were estimated, respectively. According to the interstice model, the thermal expansion coefficient of IL EPReO₄ (α) was calculated and compared with experimental value, finding their magnitude order is in good agreement by 8.98%.     

Volumetric Properties of Aqueous Solutions of Cyclohexylsulfamic Acid

The mean apparent molar volume of cyclohexylsulfamic acid has been determined from the density data of aqueous solutions up to a molality of 0.540 mol⋅kg⁻¹ and at 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 313.15, and 323.15 K. The mean apparent molar volume of the acid was divided into contributing ionic and molecular apparent molar volumes. The limiting apparent molar volume of the molecular acid amounts to (131.69± 0.02) cm³⋅mol⁻¹ and the limiting apparent molar expansibility to (0.130± 0.003) cm³⋅mol⁻¹⋅K⁻¹ at 298.15 K. From the limiting ionic and molecular apparent molar volumes the limiting volume change of ionization of cyclohexylsulfamic acid was calculated. A value of −7.76 cm³⋅mol⁻¹ was evaluated at 298.15 K. The temperature dependence of the volume change of ionization amounts to −(0.018± 0.009) cm³⋅mol⁻¹⋅K⁻¹. From the density data the coefficient of thermal expansion of the investigated solutions was calculated and from this the mean apparent molar expansibility of cyclohexylsulfamic acid was derived.     

Solvent Effect on the Enthalpy of Solution and Partial Molar Volume of the Ionic Liquid 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate

Enthalpies of solution and partial molar volumes of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate were determined in 15 solvents of different polarity. Very large differences of the enthalpies of solution (????_sol H _IL=38.9?kJ?mol^?1) and partial molar volumes (??V _IL=43 cm³?mol^?1) are nearly the same as observed for lithium perchlorate solutions. These results clearly indicate that the low values of the macroscopic polarity parameters of [bmim]BF₄ do not correspond with the large differences of the intermolecular interactions in IL solutions. The values of the partial molar volume of the cation, $V_{[\mathrm{bmim}]^{+}}$ , were estimated for the first time. The changes of the partial molar volumes, V _IL, reflect mainly the changes of anion volume, $V_{\mathrm{BF}_{4}^{-}}$ . The rate of the Diels?CAlder reaction of 9,10-dimethylanthracene with maleic anhydride in the [bmim]BF₄ medium was nearly the same as in common molecular solvents.
