ILThermo

Purpose

ILThermo is a web-based ionic liquids database available at no cost to the public (https://ilthermo.boulder.nist.gov/). It aims to provide users worldwide with up-to-date information on publications of experimental investigation on ionic liquids, including numerical values of chemical and physical properties, measurement methods, sample purity, uncertainty of property values, as well as many other significant measurement details. The database can be searched by means of the ions constituting the ionic liquids, the ionic liquids themselves, their properties, and references.

 

Features

  • Well-structured information from current  and historical investigations on ionic liquids

  • Full provenance on all experimental and estimated data that underpin critical recommendations
  • Worldwide collection of scientific journals
  • Up-to-date information on major publications on ionic liquids

Scope

  • Pure ionic liquids
  • Binary mixture systems containing ionic liquids
  • Ternary mixture systems containing ionic liquids
  • Thermodynamic properties
  • Thermochemical properties
  • Transport properties
