Abstract
To improve the understanding of the molecular interactions of water with tetraalkyl ammonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, thermophysical properties such as density (ρ), speed of sound (u), viscosity (η) and refractive index (nD) were measured and a computational study using COSMO-RS was performed. The derived properties such as excess volumes (VE), deviation in isentropic compressibilities (Δκs), deviation in viscosities (Δη), and deviation in refractive indices (ΔnD) under the same experimental conditions for these systems were also estimated. The observed VE and Δκs values are negative over the entire composition of ILs at all investigated temperatures, whereas Δη and ΔnD values are positive under the same experimental conditions. These results reveal that the ammonium-based ILs significantly affect the intermolecular interactions between the solvent molecules. The computati...
