Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the cation and anion influence on intermolecular interactions of mixtures comprising ionic liquids (ILs): 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [Bmim][Cl], 1-butyl-3-methylimdazolium thiocyanate [Bmim][SCN] and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidium chloride [Bmpym][Cl] with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at various temperatures. To understand the influence of cation and anion as well as temperature on interactions between the mixtures, thermodynamics parameters: apparent molar properties were calculated from the measured density (ρ) and sound velocity (u) data and fitted to the Redlich-Mayer type equation in order to obtained limiting apparent molar properties of the studied mixtures. A detailed non-covalent interaction (NCI) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis was done using density functional theory calculations. These calculations provided information on the electrostatic interactions between the anion, cation, and solvent. The experimental and computational results show that there is hydrogen bonding and strong ionic interactions in the studied systems.
