In the present work, a series of 1-propyronitrile-3-alkylimidazolium bromide ionic liquids ([C 2 CN C n im]Br, where n ) 4, 6, 8, and 10) were synthesized and characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), NMR, and elemental analysis. Physical properties such as density, viscosity, and refractive index are measured and reported for a temperature range of (293.15 to 353.15) K and at atmospheric pressure. The influence of the alkyl chain on these properties is discussed. The present synthesized ionic liquids show a weak temperature dependency on the thermal expansion coefficient.
Nowadays ionic liquids are in the focus of scientific interest owing to their attractive properties. In this context, a series of amino acid-based ionic liquids (AAILs; EmimGly, EmimAla, EmimPro, and EmimSer) were synthesized and characterized by NMR and elemental analysis. Thermophysical properties such as density and viscosity were measured in the temperature range of T = (293.15 to 353.15) K and refractive index in the temperature range of T = (293.15 to 333.15) K. The thermal expansion coefficient values were calculated from the acquired experimental density values for T = (293.15 to 363.15) K. A thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) was used to investigate the thermal degradation behavior of synthesized ionic liquids.
