    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2009 May 14; 130(18):184705. PubMed ID: 19449941.
    Abstract:
    Using dynamic light scattering techniques, we obtained the surface tension sigma, surface excess entropy S(sigma), surface excess enthalpy H(sigma), and viscosity eta for the following seven room temperature ionic liquids in a wide temperature range from 30 to around 140 degrees C: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, N-methyl-N-propylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, N,N,N-trimethyl-N-propylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, and 1-octyl-3-methyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate. We have found that sigma increases systematically with decreasing the anion size and the alkyl side chain length. On the other hand, S(sigma) and eta increase with decreasing the anion size but decrease with decreasing the alkyl chain length. H(sigma) seems to decrease with increasing the anion size, but it has no clear dependence on the alkyl chain length. We discuss the bulk and surface properties, referring to the Coulomb interactions and van der Waals interactions.
