. Introduction

One of the most important properties to characterize a newaterial is density. From the practical point of view, density is

elated to the mechanics and engineering of processes, being aey parameter in several design problems including mass andnergy balances [1,2]. For example, density is required to deter-ine rates of liquid–liquid separations or the necessary energy forixing or pumping solutions. Besides, it is particularly important

or energetic compounds, since it is a critical factor that affects det-nation performance [3]. From a theoretical point of view, density islosely related with equations of state and allows the calculation ofther thermodynamic properties such as the coefficient of thermalxpansion or the compressibility. These coefficients are essentialor technical applications in which large temperature and pressureanges are involved [4]. Moreover, density provides useful infor-ation about the structural and energetic factors which explain

he behaviour of materials. For these reasons, systematic studies ofensities are necessary to develop applications in different areas ofnowledge.

Amongst new chemicals, it is worth noting the relevance in thecientific community of ionic liquids (ILs). The unique propertiesf these compounds provide with a possibility to improve several

ndustrial processes in which the classical organic solvents lead toimitations [5–7]. Therefore, an exhaustive investigation of theireatures is essential for developing the true potential of ILs. Volu-

metric data as a function of temperature are very common sincethe importance of density. However, the lack of data at differentpressures is significant for these compounds [8–12].

Taking into account this framework, we report densitiesof a series of pyridinium-based ILs in a broad range oftemperatures and pressures. Specifically, volumetric proper-ties for 1-propylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ([ppy][BF4]), 1-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ([bpy][BF4]), 1-butylpyridiniumtriflate ([bpy][CF3SO3]), 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium dicyanamide([b3mpy][N(CN)2]), and 1-octyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluorob-orate ([o3mpy][BF4]), have been measured. Temperature andpressure dependence of experimental data have been properly cor-related with the TRIDEN equation [13] and from their parameters,the coefficient of thermal expansion, and the isothermal com-pressibility have been calculated. A comparison of results for theconsidered ILs has been used to understand the effect of the cationalkyl chain length, the dependence of the anionic nature and theinfluence of the substituents on the volumetric behaviour of theseILs. Densities for [bpy][BF4] at two temperatures and different pres-sures were previously reported and good agreement between datahas been found [14].

he water content as much as possible. The water contents of theamples were less than 500 ppm as determined by Karl–Fischeritration. The halides contents were less than 0.5% for [ppy][BF4],ess than 100 ppm for [bpy][BF4] and [bpy][CF3SO3], and less than000 ppm and 200 ppm for [b3mpy][N(CN)2] and [o3mpy][BF4],espectively, as the supplier indicates in the certificate of analysis.easurements for [ppy][BF4], [bpy][BF4], and [o3mpy][BF4] were

erformed in the temperature range of 283.15–333.15 K and in theressure range of 0.1–65 MPa. In the case of [bpy][CF3SO3] andb3mpy][N(CN)2], density measurements at lower temperaturesere not possible due to the sample solidification at such work

onditions, the corresponding normal melting points are 301.4 Knd 278 K, respectively [15,16].

Densities, �, were measured using a high pressure, high tem-erature Anton Paar DMA HP cell connected to an evaluationnit Anton Paar DMA 5000. The cell temperature is controlledo ±1 × 10−3 K by means of an integrated Peltier thermostat. Theequired pressure was created by a hand pump 750.1100 fromitec, Switzerland and measured by a pressure transducer US181rom Measuring Specialities, USA. The uncertainty in the pressure

easurement is 5 kPa. A vacuum pump was employed for evacu-ting the whole apparatus. Hexane, water and dichloromethaneere used to calibrate the densimeter in order to cover a wide

ange of densities. Besides, toluene was employed to check the cal-bration over a wide range of temperature and pressure. Detailsf the calibration procedure can be found in a previous paper17]. The estimated uncertainty of our density measurements is1 × 10−5 g cm−3.

It is known that density determination using vibrating tube den-imeters depends on the sample viscosity. Thus, a correction of thexperimental densities of ILs should be performed to obtain reli-ble results due to the high viscosity values of these compounds,specially at high pressures. With this aim, we have followed therocedure proposed by Romani et al. which consists in obtaining aurve of the correction of density, ��, as a function of viscosity, �,ith our densimeter [18,19]. In this way, viscosity-induced errors

or our vibrating tube densimeter, ��, as a function of viscosity, �,ave been adjusted using the following equation:

�(�) = �2

q1 + q2� + q3�2(1)

here q1, q2 and q3 are fitting values. In our case, these parametersre: q1 = 3,516,076, q2 = 129,396 and q3 = 843. Therefore, it is possi-le to correct the density of the ILs obtained from the Anton PaarMA HP cell if experimental viscosities of these chemicals, at the

ame temperature and pressure range at which densities have beenetermined, are available. These measurements have been previ-usly obtained for the studied ILs [20]. More details for the viscosityorrection procedure can be found in a previous paper [21]. Thestimated uncertainty of corrected density is ±1 × 10−4 g cm−3.

. Results

Corrected densities, from now densities, for the studied ILs areollected in Table 2. Previous literature works report density val-es of [bpy][BF4] [14,22] and [b3mpy][N(CN)2] [23] at atmospheric

pressure which agree with our experimental results. However, onlya reference at high pressures and two temperatures have beenfound for [bpy][BF4] [14]. A comparison between experimental andliterature data at different pressures is found in Table 3. Experimen-tal results at T = 298.15 K are similar to our data whereas differencesat T = 323.15 K are slightly greater.

Densities have been fitted with temperature and pressureaccording to the three-dimensional p�T correlating model calledTRIDEN [13]. In this approach, the Tait equation for isothermalcompressed densities has been combined with a modified Rackettequation for the liquid saturation densities:

Pressure is given in MPa, density in g cm−3 and temperature in Kin this expression. The reference pressure is set to p0 = 0.1 MPa andthe corresponding reference densities, �0, were correlated with Eq.(2). The parameter CT in Eq. (3) was treated as temperature inde-pendent. The relative root-mean-square deviations, RMSDr, havebeen used as statistical values for the equation fit:

RMSDr (%) = 100

where n is the number of experimental data. TRIDEN parametersalong with the corresponding deviations for each compound arecollected in Table 4. The overall RMSDr obtained is 0.0081% andthe deviations between experimental and correlated densities areclose to the uncertainty of the experimental densities and randomlydistributed.

The experimental densities of the ionic liquids together withcorrelated densities using the TRIDEN equation are shown inFigs. 1–5. Density decreases with temperature at constant pressuredue to the thermal expansion and weakening of intermolecu-lar interactions between ions [24]. Besides, it undergoes a linearincreasing with pressure.

The analysis of results has been divided in three parts corre-sponding to the structural variations of ions. Thus, we are goingto evaluate in detail the influence of the ionic structure in thisproperty. This study completes a previous thermophysical char-acterization of these ILs that our investigation group has carriedout [15,25,26].

Firstly, the influence of a substituent within the ring isstudied when [bpy][BF4] is compared with three isomericILs which have been previously characterized by our inves-tigation group, i.e. 1-butyl-2-methylpyridinium tetrafluorobo-

rate ([b2mpy][BF4]), 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluorobo-rate ([b3mpy][BF4]), and 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tetraflu-oroborate ([b4mpy][BF4]) [21]. A comparison of the resultsreveals that [bpy][BF4] is denser than the isomeric compounds

Their values for the studied ILs at each temperature and pressureare collected in the supplementary material and they are graphi-cally represented in Figs. 6–10. Data for these derived propertiesat T = 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure are gathered in Table 5.Estimating the accuracy of these coefficients is difficult since theyare affected by the uncertainty associated with the experimentaldetermination of density and the numerical errors related to thefitting equations used [4]. We have found a previous reference ofisothermal compressibility values for [bpy][BF4] [14] and our dataproperly agree with those obtained in this work, with maximumdifferences of 2% corresponding to high pressures.

Coefficients of thermal expansion depend strongly on the

expression used to correlate density values. For this reason, it isessential to choose an equation which could properly describe thevolumetric behaviour of these materials in such work conditions.In spite of the different ionic structures, it is noticeable that these

The calculated coefficients of thermal expansion for the ILstudied here decrease with pressure at constant temperature fol-owing the general behaviour of liquids [31]. There also exits aeneral agreement that the isotherms of intersect at high pres-ures for many liquids, a characteristic feature first described byridgman [32] and observed for other authors [31,33–36].

ng to Figs. 6–10, two different tendencies can be identified. Onhe one hand, this coefficient decreases with rising pressure andith increasing temperature along the isobars for [ppy][BF4], this

ehaviour with temperature, attributed to the high ordering ofhese fluids [37–39], is more evident when pressure increases.t is evident that this coefficient has to present a minimum at

igh temperatures because it is required that diverges to +∞t the critical temperature [39]. On the other hand, the isothermsor [bpy][BF4], [bpy][CF3SO3], [b3mpy][N(CN)2] and [o3mpy][BF4]how an intersection point in which the coefficients are

independent of temperature at such pressure. This point is relatedto the minimum of isobaric molar heat capacity values for thesecompounds at this work conditions [40] and it has been observedpreviously for other ionic liquids [41] and molecular solvents [42].The intersection occurs close to atmospheric pressure, 30 MPa and25 MPa for [bpy][BF4] [bpy][CF3SO3] and [b3mpy][N(CN)2], respec-tively, and at higher pressures, 55 MPa, for [o3mpy][BF4].

According to Figs. 6–10, isothermal compressibility for theseILs increases with temperature and it decreases when pressurerises. Then, these ILs show a regular liquids behaviour. No sig-nificant differences have been found when the isomers and theIL missing a methyl group are compared. Otherwise, compress-ibility increases with the alkyl chain length of the cation. These

[42]. These results also seem to support the conclusions obtainedfrom density and other thermophysical properties which suggest agreater molar free volume for those compounds with bulky groups

25,26]. Thus, [o3mpy][BF4] and [bpy][BF4] are more compressiblehan [b3mpy][BF4] and [ppy][BF4], respectively. Finally, compress-bility values increase with increasing anion formula weight. Hence,

e have found that [b3mpy][BF4] and [bpy][CF3SO3] are more com-ressible than [b3mpy][N(CN)2] and [bpy][BF4], respectively.

. Conclusions

Densities, coefficients of thermal expansion, and isothermalompressibilities of a series of ILs in a broad range of temperaturesnd pressures have been reported. Results have been evaluatedttending to structural effects. Density data indicate that the lackf the methyl group in the cation favours a better structural orga-ization of the ions inside the fluid. Besides, density decreases and

sothermal compressibility increases when the alkyl chain lengthf the cation increases. Finally, it has been found a direct relation-hip between the formula weigh of the anion and properties forhese ILs. In this case, coefficients of thermal expansion seem to bendependent of the ionic structures.
