Abstract
The upper critical solution temperature (UCST)-type liquid-liquid phase separation of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs), 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Cnmim][TFSI], where n represents the alkyl chain length of the cation, n = 6, 8, 10, and 12) binary solutions with formamide (FA) was examined as a function of temperature and the FA mole fraction xFA. The two-phase region (immiscible region) of the solutions is much larger and expands more with the increase in n, in comparison with the previous [Cnmim][TFSI]-1,4-dioxane (1,4-DIO) systems. An array of spectroscopic techniques, including 1H and 13C NMR and IR combined with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, was conducted on the present binary systems to clarify the microscopic interactions that contribute to the phase-separation mechanism. The hydrogen-bonding interactions of the imidazolium ring H atoms are more favorable with the O atoms of the FA molecules than with 1,4-DIO molecules, whereas the latter interact more favorably with the alkyl chain of the cation. Upon lowering the temperature, the FA molecules gradually self-aggregate through self-hydrogen bonding to form FA clusters. Concomitantly, clusters of ILs are formed via the electrostatic interaction between the counter ions and the dispersion force among the IL alkyl chains. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments on the [C6mim][TFSI]-FA-d2 and [C8mim][TFSI]-FA-d2 systems revealed, similarly to [Cnmim][TFSI]-1,4-DIO systems, the crossover of the mechanism from the 3D-Ising mechanism around the UCST xFA to the mean-field mechanism at both sides of the mole fraction. Interestingly, the xFA range of the 3D-Ising mechanism for the FA systems is wider compared with the range of the 1,4-DIO systems. In this way, the self-hydrogen bonding among FA molecules most significantly governs the phase equilibria of the [Cnmim][TFSI]-FA systems.

Abstract
Liquid-liquid phase separation of binary systems for imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs), 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Cnmim][TFSI], where n represents the alkyl chain length of the cation), with 1,4-dioxane (1,4-DIO) was observed as a function of temperature and 1,4-DIO mole fraction, x1,4-DIO. The phase diagrams obtained for [Cnmim][TFSI]-1,4-DIO systems showed that the miscible region becomes wider with an increase in the alkyl chain length, n. For n = 6 and 8, an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) was found. To clarify the mechanism of the UCST-type phase separation, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments were conducted on the [C8mim][TFSI]-1,4-DIO-d8 system at several x1,4-DIO. The critical exponents of γ and ν determined from the SANS experiments showed that phase separation of the system at the UCST mole fraction occurs via the 3D-Ising mechanism, while that on both sides of UCST occurs via the mean field mechanism. Thus, the crossover of mechanism was observed for this system. The microscopic interactions among the cation, anion, and 1,4-DIO were elucidated using 1H and 13C NMR and IR spectroscopic techniques, together with the theoretical method of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results on the microscopic interactions suggest that 1,4-DIO molecules cannot strongly interact with H atoms on the imidazolium ring, while they interact with the octyl chain of the cation through dispersion force. With a decrease in temperature, 1,4-DIO molecules gradually aggregate to form 1,4-DIO clusters in the binary solutions. The strengthening of the C-H⋯O interaction between 1,4-DIO molecules by cooling is the key to the phase separation. Of course, the electrostatic interaction between the cations and anions results in the formation of IL clusters. When IL clusters are excluded from 1,4-DIO clusters, liquid-liquid phase separation occurs. Accordingly, the balance between the electrostatic force between the cations and anions and the C-H⋯O interaction between the 1,4-DIO determines the 3D-Ising or the mean field mechanism of phase separation.

Abstract
Phase diagrams of ionic solutions of the ionic liquid C(18)mim(+)NTF(2)(-) (1-n-octadecyl-3-methyl imidazolium bistrifluormethylsulfonylimide) in decalin, cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane are reported and compared with that of solutions of other imidazolium ionic liquids with the anions NTF(2)(-), Cl(-) and BF4(-) in arenes, CCl(4), alcohols and water. The phase diagrams are analysed presuming Ising criticality and taking into account the asymmetry of the phase diagrams. The resulting parameters are compared with simulation results for equal-sized charged hard spheres in a dielectric continuum, the restricted primitive model (RPM) and the primitive model (PM) that allows for ions of different size. In the RPM temperature scale the critical temperatures vary almost linearly with the dielectric permittivity of the solvent. The RPM critical temperatures of the solutions in non-polar solvents are very similar, somewhat below the RPM value. Correlations with the boiling temperatures of the solvents and a dependence on the length of the side chain of the imidazolium cations show that dispersion interactions modify the phase transition, which is mainly determined by Coulomb forces. Critical concentrations, widths of the phase diagrams and the slopes of the diameter are different for the solutions in protic and aprotic solvents. The phase diagrams of the solutions in alcohols and water get a lower critical solution point when represented in RPM variables.

Abstract
The viscosity near the critical point in nitrobenzene+hexane and nitrobenzene+heptane binary systems was studied by examining the viscosity values for critical mixtures at a variable temperature as obtained with a falling-ball viscometer. The regular part of the viscosity of the critical mixtures was calculated by interpolating measurements made at noncritical concentrations. Because viscosity anomaly studies must be conducted at zero shear, a method allowing the estimation of the effective shear for this type of viscometer was developed with a view to introducing the corrections required. This methodology was used to determine the critical exponent for the viscosity anomaly in nitrobenzene+hexane and nitrobenzene+heptane systems, which were found to be 0.0422+/-0.0004 and 0.0432+/-0.0013 , respectively, very consistent with the accepted value: 0.043.
