The Relationship Between the Ionic Structure and Viscosity in the Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids

Hualin Li, Murfat Ibrahim, Ismail Ageremi, and Mark Kobrak. Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, Brooklyn, NY

We investigate the relationship between the ionic structure and the viscosity in Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs). We build on earlier work and derive an ionic property we call the Charge Lever Moment (CLM). We compare calculation values and the CLM to experimental viscosities of RTILs, and show a correlation between the two quantities. We also explore the important of ionic rigidity to viscosity.
