In this work, thermophysical properties of quaternary ammonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) including density, surface tension, and viscosity are produced by two powerful artificial intelligence techniques: genetic function approximation (GFA) and artificial neural network (ANN). In proposed GFA and ANN models, the critical temperature and water content of studied ILs ([N 222(n) ]Tf 2 N with n ¼ 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12) as well as operation temperature were given as the input parameters and the density, surface tension, and viscosity were predicted as the output results. The obtained results reveal that the selected input parameters are appropriate for prediction of thermophysical properties of quaternary ammonium-based ILs. In addition, the high statistical quality represented by various criteria and the low prediction errors of the presented models indicate that they can accurately predict the density, surface tension, and viscosity of new ILs without recourse to experimental data.
