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...

Crystal Growth, Structure, and Polymorphic Behavior of an Ionic Liquid: Phthalate Derivative of N-Butyl,N-methylimidazolium Hexafluorophosphate

TL;DR: In this article, two polymorphic forms were isolated from methanolic solution and characterized by XRPD, DSC, and Raman spectroscopy, and structural analyses carried out by using single-crystal (Form A) and powder (Form B) X-ray diffraction revealed a rotational disorder of anionic octahedrons and large conformational differences between cationic moieties caused by their molecular flexibility.
