Abstract

In this work the molar enthalpy of formation of the ionic liquid ethyl-methylimidazolium dicyanoamide in the gaseous phase [C2MIM][N(CN)2] was measured by means of combustion calorimetry and enthalpy of vaporization using transpiration. Available scarce primary experimental results on enthalpies of formation of imidazolium based ionic liquids with the cation [CnMIM] (where n= 2 and 4) and anions [N(CN)2], [NO3] and [NTf2] were collected and checked for consistency using group additivity procedure. First-principles calculations of the enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase for the ionic liquids with the common cation [CnMIM] (where n= 2 and 4) and with the anions [N(CN)2], [NO3], [NTf2] , [Cl], [BF4] and [PF6] have been performed using the G3MP2 theory. It has been established, that the gaseous phase enthalpies of formation of these ionic liquids obey the group additivity rules.
