Determination of the solubility parameter of ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate by inverse gas chromatography

Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids: Unbiased Recovering of Vaporization Enthalpies from Infinite-Dilution Activity Coefficients

We propose and test an efficient approach for the assessment of the enthalpies of vaporization of ionic liquids at the reference temperature 298.15 K. The approach is based on activity coefficients at infinite dilution of volatile organic solutes in ionic liquids bearing the imidazolium cation of the general formula [C_nmim][Anion].

Determination of physicochemical properties of ionic liquids by gas chromatography

Over the years room temperature ionic liquids have gained attention as solvents with favorable environmental and technical features. Both chromatographic and conventional methods afford suitable tools for the study of their physicochemical properties. Use of gas chromatography compared to conventional methods for the measurement of physicochemical properties of ionic liquids have several advantages; very low sample concentrations, high accuracy, faster measurements, use of wider temperature range and the possibility to determine physicochemical properties of impure samples. Also, general purpose gas chromatography instruments are widely available in most laboratories thus alleviating the need to purchase more specific instruments for less common physiochemical measurements. Some of the main types of physicochemical properties of ionic liquids accessible using gas chromatography include gas-liquid partition constants, infinite dilution activity coefficients, partial molar quantities, solubility parameters, system constants of the solvation parameter model, thermal stability, transport properties, and catalytic and other surface properties.
