Abstract

In the present work, a new binary mixture system composed of the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([Emim][CF3SO3]) and propylene carbonate (PC) was prepared. The densities, dynamic viscosities, and electrical conductivities of ([Emim][CF3SO3] + PC) were measured over the whole concentration range (mole fractions of IL from 0 to 1) for temperatures from 288.15 to 353.15 K. The excess molar volumes (VE) and viscosity deviations (Δη) of the binary systems were calculated to characterize the volume contraction and intermolecular interactions in the mixture system, and both were correlated with the Redlich–Kister polynomial equation. The Vogel–Fulcher–Tamman equation was used to describe the temperature dependences of the dynamic viscosities and the electrical conductivities of the binary system. Further, density functional theory calculations were employed to obtain the structure, energy, and COSMO charge distributions of the cation and anion of the IL and the PC molecule, and the intermolecular interactions in the binary mixture system were evaluated.
