On the viscosity of pyridinium based ionic liquids: an experimental and computational study.

A study on the viscosity of eight pyridinium based ionic liquids is reported for wide pressure and temperature ranges. Measurements were performed using an electromagnetic moving piston viscometer. Experimental data were fitted to a Tait-like equation demonstrating good correlations, which was used to calculate pressure/viscosity and temperature/viscosity coefficients. The effect of the involved anions and cation on the ionic liquid viscosity was analyzed from a molecular viewpoint using hole theory, quantum chemistry calculations using density functional theory, and classical molecular dynamics simulations. The analysis of the experimental and computational results shows the complex effects controlling viscosity of studied fluids, including strength of ionic pairs, molecular sizes, and mobility and effects rising from the availability and cavity sizes distributions in pyridinium-based ionic liquids.
