The Handbook of Ionic Liquids: Data

The Handbook of Ionic Liquids: Data, a title in the Handbook of Ionic Liquids series, is a thorough compilation of the physicochemical data on a wide range of ionic liquids. The introductory chapter contains an overview and classification of the materials considered, including a guide to nomenclature and abbreviations of ionic liquids and their names, synonyms, molecular formulae and weights, and CAS registry numbers. Potential contaminants, their origins, and methods for prevention or removal are also addressed. The subsequent chapters present data on such topics as physicochemical and electrochemical properties, phase change, solubility, and spectra. Each chapter includes a short introduction on the theoretical background and technical aspects of each considered property, and techniques and methodologies for the determination of the respective property. The core information contains tabulated values from the literature for pure compounds and multi-component mixtures, as a function of temperature, pressure, concentration, or impurities. These are followed by a critical discussion of the collected data and techniques used, and extensive reference lists for further reading. See more
