Abstract

The experimental densities (ρ), speeds of sound (u), and refractive indices (nD) of binary mixtures of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C8mim][BF4]) with isomers of butanol (1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol) were measured at 0.1 MPa and at 298.15, 308.15 and 318.15 K. Excess molar volumes (VmE), excess molar isentropic compressibilities (Ks,mE), and deviations in refractive index (ΔϕnD) were calculated from the experimental data and were fitted to the Redlich–Kister polynomial equation. The results have been interpreted in terms of interstitial accommodation, ion–dipole interactions, formation of the hydrogen bonds, and structural factors involved in the mixture of ionic liquid and molecular organic solvents. Various mixing rules were used to predict the refractive indices and the data have been compared with the experimental results. In addition, analysis of the present VmE data were done through the Prigogine–Flory–Patterson (PFP) theory and the extended real associated solution (ERAS) model.

Introduction

Among the various classes of the ILs [1], [2], imidazolium based ILs are the most extensively studied and used. The ILs are used in various fields, including in catalysis, in electrochemistry, in preparation of highly efficient fuel and solar cells, in the column as the stationary phase in chromatography, in the synthesis of nano-materials and also in various industrial applications [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Several technological process used in the industries are designed and implemented successfully from the knowledge of the thermophysical properties of ILs solutions in organic solvents. Reliable and accessible reference data on the physical (density, speeds of sound and viscosity) and chemical properties of pure components (ILs) and their mixtures are very crucial for: several industrial process engineering, transportation and storage of fluids, equipment designing, to develop the models for process design and energy efficient processes, to qualify and quantify the energy efficiency. In the literature, the data pertaining to ILs (pure and mixture with organic solvents) are very limited as well as scattered, which makes them inaccessible to the industry. Furthermore, along with the physical properties, several derived properties are also important to characterize the compounds in their pure form as well as in the mixtures and provide the end user the best information about the behavioral changes occurred when the pure ILs is mixed with the organic solvents through the knowledge of molecular interaction.

Our laboratory is engaged in the systematic experimental and theoretical investigations of the thermodynamic, transport, acoustic, and optical properties of the binary mixtures involving ILs and molecular organic solvents as the functions of composition and temperature [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. In the previous papers [12], [13], the thermophysical properties of the binary mixtures of imidazolium based ILs: [C6mim][BF4] and [C8mim][BF4] with the cyclic ethers and alkyl amines were reported. Alaknol as being highly polar H-bonding molecular solvents and used in many organic synthesis has been selected in the present work. Here we report the volumetric, acoustic and optical properties of binary mixtures; [C8mim][BF4] + isomers of butanol (1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol) at (298.15, 308.15 & 318.15) K and at 0.1 MPa pressure. The isomers of butanol were selected as one of the components in order to see the effect of different position of single bondOH and single bondCH3 groups in butanol molecule on the investigated thermophysical properties. Only the excess molar volumes (VmE) of [C8mim][BF4] + 1-butanol at 298.15 K have been reported in literature [14]. The results have been interpreted in terms of interstitial accommodation, ion–dipole interactions, H-bond formation and structural factors involved in the liquid components. Further, the refractive indices of the binary mixtures were correlated with Lorentz–Lorenz, Dale–Gladstone, Eykman, Arago–Boit, Newton, Oster, Heller, and Wiener mixing rules [15]. The PFP theory [16], [17], [18] and the ERAS model [17], [19], [20] were also used to analyse the VmEdata.

Materials

[C8mim][BF4] was synthesized in our laboratory following the two-step synthetic procedure [12], [13], [21], the formation of the halide intermediate followed by the anion exchange of the tetrafluoroborate anion. The purification procedure has been described in our previous publications [12], [13] and the purity was determined through the corresponding 1H NMR spectra with cation and anion specific peak integrals. 1H NMR of the synthesized IL (200 MHz, TMS, DMSO-d6, Fig. S1) 0.86 (3H, t, Nsingle bond (CH2)5single bondCH

Results and discussion

Isentropic compressibilities (kS) and molar isentropic compressibilities (Ks,m) were obtained from Eqs. (1) and (2), respectively [48].κs=Vm1(Vm/P)S=(ρu2)1=Vm(Mmu2)1KS,m=(Vm/P)S=VmκS=Mm/(ρu)2where Vm, Mm, ρ, and u are the molar volume, molar mass, density, and speed of sound of the mixture, respectiely. To have better agreement with the other thermodynamic quantities, here we have calculated the mole-intensive quantity Ks,m inplace of the volume-intensive κS [57].Measured densities,

      So, the systematic information on binary mixtures demonstrating H-bond interactions in higher glycol oligomers would be significant for scientific community. Liquid mixtures have reasonable significant applications in different fields over pure solvents due to their desirable properties [29–33]. Reliable thermodynamic properties are basic yet important requirement for designing and optimizing procedures in the chemical industry.

      Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory has been originally used in interpreting the values of the excess molar volumes of binary systems formed by polar compounds which do not form strong electrostatic or hydrogen bond interactions. However, despite the ionic character of the IL systems, the PFP theory has been successfully applied to predict and model the excess molar volumes of many mixtures containing ionic liquids [64-68]. As stated by PFP theory, the excess molar volume contains three contributions: an interactional contribution, a free volume contribution and a pressure contribution.
