Ionic liquids (ILs) are ionic compounds
with low melting points
that can be designed to be used in an extensive set of commercial
and industrial applications. However, the design of ILs is limited
by the quantity and quality of the available data in the literature;
therefore, the estimation of physicochemical properties of ILs by
computational methods is a promising way of solving this problem,
since it provides approximations of the real values, resulting in
savings in both time and money. We studied two data sets of 281 and
134 liquids based on the molecule imidazole that were analyzed with
QSPR techniques. This paper presents a software architecture that
uses clustering techniques to improve the robustness of estimation
models of the melting point of ILs. These results indicate an error
of 6.25% in the previously unmodeled data set and an error of 4.43%
in the second data set. We have an improvement with the second data
set of 1.81% over the last results previously found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
