Thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of the reference ionic liquid: 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]amide (including mixtures). Part 1. Experimental methods and results (IUPAC Technical Report)

This article summarizes the results of IUPAC Project 2002-005-1-100 (Thermodynamics of ionic liquids, ionic liquid mixtures, and the development of standardized systems). The methods used by the various contributors to measure the thermophysical and phase equilibrium properties of the reference sample of the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis [(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]amide and its mixtures are summarized along with the uncertainties estimated by the contributors. Some results not previously published are presented. Properties of the pure ionic liquid included thermal properties (triple-point temperature, glass-transition temperature, enthalpy of fusion, heat capacities of condensed states), volumetric properties, speeds of sound, viscosities, electrolytic conductivities, and relative permittivities. Properties for mixtures included gas solubilities, solute activity coefficients at infinite dilution, liquid-liquid equilibrium temperatures, and excess volumes. The companion article (Part 2) provides a critical evaluation of the data and recommended values with estimated combined expanded uncertainties.

A new method for the determination of vaporization enthalpies of ionic liquids at low temperatures.

A new method for the determination of vaporization enthalpies of extremely low volatile ILs has been developed using a newly constructed quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) vacuum setup. Because of the very high sensitivity of the QCM it has been possible to reduce the average temperature of the vaporization studies by approximately 100 K in comparison to other conventional techniques. The physical basis of the evaluation procedure has been developed and test measurements have been performed with the common ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide [C(2)mim][NTf(2)] extending the range of measuring vaporization enthalpies down to 363 K. The results obtained for [C(2)mim][NTf(2)] have been tested for thermodynamic consistency by comparison with data already available at higher temperatures. Comparison of the temperature-dependent vaporization enthalpy data taken from the literature show only acceptable agreement with the heat capacity difference of -40 J K(-1) mol(-1). The method developed in this work opens also a new way to obtain reliable values of vaporization enthalpies of thermally unstable ionic liquids.

Excess enthalpies of alcohol+amine mixtures. Experimental results and theoretical description using the ERAS-model

Abstract New experimental data of the molar excess enthalpy H E of mixtures containing eight liquids – propylamine+methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butylamine+methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol – are presented using a quasi-isothermal flow calorimeter. The results are used for testing the ERAS-model which provides a theoretical concept accounting for the self-association and cross-association of alcohol and amine molecules, as well as for non-associative intermolecular interactions. Excess molar volumes V E are also successfully described by the model. It turns out that the strong cross-association occurring between alcohol and amine molecules is the predominant reason for the remarkably low exothermic values of H E observed for the mixtures studied.

Pyrrolidinium-Based Ionic Liquids. 1-Butyl-1-methyl Pyrrolidinium Dicyanoamide: Thermochemical Measurement, Mass Spectrometry, and ab Initio Calculations

The standard molar enthalpy of formation of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide has been determined at 298 K by means of combustion calorimetry, while the enthalpy of vaporization and the mass spectrum of the vapor (ion pairs) have been determined by temperature-programmed desorption and line of sight mass spectrometry. Ab initio calculations for 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide have been performed using the G3MP2 and CBS-QB3 theory, and the results from homodesmic reactions are in excellent agreement with the experiments.

Ionic Liquids. Combination of Combustion Calorimetry with High-Level Quantum Chemical Calculations for Deriving Vaporization Enthalpies

In this work, the molar enthalpies of formation of the ionic liquids [C2MIM][NO3] and [C4MIM][NO3] were measured by means of combustion calorimetry. The molar enthalpy of fusion of [C2MIM][NO3] was measured using differential scanning calorimetry. Ab initio calculations of the enthalpy of formation in the gaseous phase have been performed for the ionic species using the G3MP2 theory. We have used a combination of traditional combustion calorimetry with modern high-level ab initio calculations in order to obtain the molar enthalpies of vaporization of a series of the ionic liquids under study.

Enthalpies of Solution of Organic Solutes in the Ionic Liquid 1-Methyl-3-ethyl-imidazolium Bis-(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl) Amide

Enthalpies of solution of six organic solutes in the ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-ethyl-imidazolium bis-(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl) amide have been measured at 25°C at low concentrations using titration calorimetry. Results at infinite dilution are compared with data obtained indirectly from activity coefficients at infinite dilution. Thermodynamic consistency has been confirmed within the experimental error of both methods.

Imidazolium-based ionic liquids. 1-methyl imidazolium nitrate: thermochemical measurements and ab initio calculations.

In this work data of the molar enthalpies of formation of the ionic liquid 1-methylimidazolium nitrate [H-MIM][NO3] was measured by means of combustion calorimetry. The molar enthalpy of fusion of [H-MIM][NO3] was measured using DSC. Experiments to vaporize the ionic liquid into vacuum or nitrogen stream in order to obtain vaporization enthalpy have been performed. Ab initio calculations of the enthalpy of formation in the gaseous phase have been performed for the ionic species using the G3MP2 theory. The combination of traditional combustion calorimertry with modern high-level ab initio calculations allow the determination of the molar enthalpy of vaporization of the ionic liquid under study. The ab initio calculations indicate that [H-MIM][NO3] is most probably separated into the neutral species methyl-imidazole and HNO3 in the gaseous phase at conditions of the vaporization experiments.

Vaporization and Formation Enthalpies of 1-Alkyl-3-methylimidazolium Tricyanomethanides

Thermochemical studies of the ionic liquids 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide [C(2)MIM][C(CN)(3)] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide [C(4)MIM][C(CN)(3)] have been performed in this work. Vaporization enthalpies have been obtained using a recently developed quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique. The molar enthalpies of formation of these ionic liquids in the liquid state were measured by means of combustion calorimetry. A combination of the results obtained from QCM and combustion calorimetry lead to values of gaseous molar enthalpies of formation of [C(n)MIM][C(CN)(3)]. First-principles calculations of the enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase for the ionic liquids [C(n)MIM][C(CN)(3)] have been performed using the CBS-QB3 and G3MP2 theory and have been compared with the experimental data. Furthermore, experimental results of enthalpies of formation of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with the cation [C(n)MIM] (where n = 2 and 4) and anions [N(CN)(2)], [NO(3)], and [C(CN)(3)] available in the literature have been collected and checked for consistency using a group additivity procedure. It has been found that the enthalpies of formation of these ionic liquids roughly obey group additivity rules.

Excess properties of propan-1-ol + polyether and propan-1-ol + polyamine mixtures. Experimental results of HE and VE and application of a multiple cross-association theory based on the ERAS model

Abstract New experimental data of HE and VE of seven polyether and polyamine + propan-1-ol mixtures have been obtained and the results are compared with an extended version of the extended real associated solution model (ERAS) model which takes into account a multiple cross-association of self-associating alkanol molecules with different centers of the polyether or polyamine molecule represented by oxygen atoms or NH2/NH-groups in these molecules. The multiple cross-association (MCA)-ERAS model accounts also for possible self-association of the polyethers and polyamines. The model is able to describe the excess properties by adjusting simultaneously a few parameters to the experimental HE and VE data. It turns out that the introduction of multiple cross-association is necessary to obtain an adequate description of the excess properties.
