Thermophysical Properties of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids

TLDR
In this paper, the authors present density as a function of temperature, melting temperatures, glass transition temperatures, decomposition temperatures, and heat capacities for 13 ionic liquids, including 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate.
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...

Synthesis and characterization of two ionic liquids with emphasis on their chemical stability towards metallic lithium

TL;DR: Two room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) without acidic protons, based on different cationic species (BMMI) and N - n -butyl- N -methylpiperidinium (BMP) using (CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 N − (TFSI) as anion, were prepared by quaternization of their respective amines with an appropriate alkyl halide, followed by ion exchange reaction as mentioned in this paper.

Interactions and dynamics in ionic liquids

TL;DR: The spectra are dominated by a low-frequency process at approximately 1 GHz with a broad relaxation time distribution of the Cole-Davidson or Cole-Cole type, which is thought to correspond to the rotational diffusion of the dipolar cations.
