Abstract
The glass transition pressure at room temperature, pg, of six ionic liquids based on 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations and the anions [BF4](-), [PF6](-), and bis(trifluromethanesulfonyl)imide, [NTf2](-), has been obtained from the pressure dependence of the bandwidth of the ruby fluorescence line in diamond anvil cells. Molar volume, Vm(pg), has been estimated by a group contribution model (GCM) developed for the ionic liquids. A density scaling relation, TV(γ), has been considered for the states Vm(pg, 295 K) and Vm(Tg, 0.1 MPa) using the simplifying condition that the viscosity at the glass transition is the same at pg at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure at Tg. Assuming a constant γ over this range of density, a reasonable agreement has been found for the γ determined herein and that of a previous density scaling analysis of ionic liquids viscosities under moderate conditions. Further support for the appropriateness of extrapolating the GCM equation of state to the GPa pressure range is provided by comparing the GCM and an equation of state previously derived in the power law density-scaling regime.
