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...

Slow solvation in ionic liquids: connections to non-Gaussian moves and multi-point correlations.

TL;DR: This paper explores an interconnection between timescales of dynamic heterogeneity (DH) in a neat ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF6]), and slow solvation of a dipolar solute, coumarin 153 (C153) in it at 298 K and 450 K, suggesting DH as a source for theSlow solvation at long-time in IL.
