Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts that are liquid at low temperatures, usually including the region around room temperature. They are under intense investigation, especially as replacement solvents for reactions and separations, since they exhibit negligible vapor pressure and would not, therefore, contribute to air pollution. Clearly, basic thermophysical properties are vital for design and evaluation for these applications. We present density as a function of temperature, melting temperatures, glass-transition temperatures, decomposition temperatures, and heat capacities as a function of temperature for a series of 13 of the popular imidazolium-based ILs. The ionic liquids investigated here are 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(trifluoromethylsul...

Thermodynamic, Dynamic, and Structural Properties of Ionic Liquids Comprised of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium Cation and Nitrate, Azide, or Dicyanamide Anions

TL;DR: IL was found to have the lowest enthalpy of vaporization and the weakest ion-ion structural correlation as compared to ILs with the other two ions, and this trend was further manifested in dynamical properties characterized by self-diffusion coefficients and molecular rotational relaxation times, where IL with the N(CN)(2) anion showed the fastest dynamics asCompared to other ILs.

Effects of alkyl group and temperature on the interactions between furfural and alcohol: Insight from density and sound velocity studies

TL;DR: In this paper, the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation was used to fit the excess/deviation properties of furfural and alcohol mixtures, and derived properties such as excess molar volumes, V m E, isentropic compressibility, κs, and deviation in isentropy compressibility Δκs, were also calculated.
