The effect of molecular solvents on the viscosity, conductivity and ionicity of mixtures containing chloride anion-based ionic liquid

摘要

Chloride anion-based ionic liquids (ILs) have unique importance among various ILs. Nevertheless, they are usually very viscous, and the study on their mixtures with molecular solvent is important for their practical application. In this work, the viscosities and conductivities of the binary mixtures of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and several protic/aprotic solvents were measured, and the underlying information about intermolecular interaction and microscopic structure was discussed. The result showed that the molecular solvents which have relatively high dielectric constant and hydrogen-bond acidity will be more efficient in promoting the dissociation of chloride anion-based ILs and improving the transport properties of corresponding applications.
