7-Methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (mTBD) has useful catalytic properties and can form an ionic liquid when mixed with an acid. Despite its potential usefulness, no data on its thermodynamic and transport properties are currently available in the literature. Here we present the first reliable public data on the liquid vapor pressure (temperature from 318.23 K to 451.2 K and pressure from 11.1 Pa to 10 000 Pa), liquid compressed density (293.15 K to 473.15 K and 0.092 MPa to 15.788 MPa), liquid isobaric heat capacity (312.48 K to 391.50 K), melting properties, liquid thermal conductivity (299.0 K to 372.9 K), liquid refractive index (293.15 K to 343.15 K), liquid viscosity (290.79 K to 363.00 K), liquid-vapor enthalpy of vaporization (318.23 K to 451.2 K), liquid thermal expansion coefficient (293.15 K to 473.15 K), and liquid isothermal compressibility of mTBD (293.15 K to 473.15). The properties of mTBD were compared with those of other relevant compounds, including 1,5-diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-ene (DBN), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7ene (DBU), and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG). We used the PC-SAFT equation of state to model the thermodynamic properties of mTBD, DBN, DBU, and TMG. The PC-SAFT parameters were optimized using experimental data.

In the present work, freeze crystallization studies, as a novel concentration method for aqueous 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-enium acetate ([DBNH][OAc]) ionic liquid solution, were conducted. In order to find the appropriate temperature and composition range for freeze crystallization, the solid–liquid equilibrium of a binary [DBNH][OAc]–water compound system was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results of this analysis showed that the melting temperature of the pure ionic liquid was 58 ℃, whereas the eutectic temperature of the binary compound system was found to be −73 ℃. The activity coefficient of water was determined based on the freezing point depression data obtained in this study. In this study, the lowest freezing point was −1.28 ℃ for the aqueous 6 wt.% [DBNH][OAc] solution. Ice crystal yield and distribution coefficient were obtained for two types of aqueous solutions (3 wt.% and 6 wt.% [DBNH][OAc]), and two freezing times (40 min and 60 min) were used as the main parameters to compare the two melt crystallization methods: static layer freeze and suspension freeze crystallization. Single-step suspension freeze crystallization resulted in higher ice crystal yields and higher ice purities when compared with the single-step static layer freeze crystallization. The distribution coefficient values obtained showed that the impurity ratios in ice and in the initial solution for suspension freeze crystallization were between 0.11 and 0.36, whereas for static layer freeze crystallization these were between 0.28 and 0.46. Consequently, suspension freeze crystallization is a more efficient low-energy separation method than layer freeze crystallization for the aqueous-ionic liquid solutions studied and, therefore, this technique can be applied as a concentration method for aqueous-ionic liquid solutions.
