Refractive Indices and Deviations in Refractive Indices for Binary Mixtures of 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoromethanesulfonate with Methanol, Ethanol, 1-Propanol, and 2-Propanol at Several Temperatures

Abstract

Refractive indices of the binary mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]) with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol were experimentally measured over the whole range of compositions at T = (288.15 to 338.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From the experimental data, deviations in refractive indices have been calculated and fitted to an extended version of the Redlich−Kister equation, which takes into account the dependence on composition and temperature simultaneously. This dependence has been discussed. The deviations are always positive, and their extent follows the sequence methanol > ethanol > 2-propanol > 1-propanol, increasing when temperature increases.
