ABSTRACT

Density, speed of sound and viscosity values were measured for different binary mixture concentrations of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([Bmim][NTf2]) + N-methylaniline and 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][Pf6]) + N-methylaniline systems at temperatures from T = (298.15 to 323.15) K under atmospheric pressure. The excess values of - molar volume, molar isentropic compressibility, intermolecular free length and viscosity were calculated. The partial molar volumes and partial molar isentropic compressibilities at infinite dilutions were also estimated. R-K equation was utilized to evaluate coefficients and standard deviations. The mechanism of effective packing between [Bmim][NTf2]/ [Bmim][Pf6] and NMA was represented by the negative excess molar volumes. In both the studied systems, the occurrence of strong chemical interactions was represented by the negative excess intermolecular free length values. The present work clearly showed that the simultaneous analysis of excess properties could provide a comprehensive description of molecular interactions occurring in the binary mixtures, specifically if the component molecules have different sizes. Further, the high viscosities of the ILs were decreased by mixing with low viscous NMA. Hence, the investigated systems could be more suitable for their possible applications in transport mechanism and absorption of gasses.
