Probing thermal interactions of ionic liquids with dimethyl sulfoxide
1Physical Chemistry Division, National Chemical Laboratory, Homi Bhabha Road, Pune 411008, India.
Abstract:
Interactions between ionic liquids and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are probed by isothermal titration calorimetry. The excess partial molar enthalpies of ionic liquids H(IL)(E) in DMSO are discussed in terms of solute-solvent interactions. The specific interaction theory originally developed by Pitzer is used to analyze the apparent molar enthalpy φ(L) of ionic liquids in DMSO with the help of ion-interaction parameters. Furthermore, quantitative information on solvent reorganization and clathrate formation is obtained and interpreted.

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
