报告题目：The boiling temperature of ionic liquids--An experimental approach
报告摘要：
The very low vapor pressure of ionic liquids is challenging to measure. At elevated temperatures the liquids might start to decompose, at relatively low temperatures the vapor pressure becomes extremely low to be measured by conventional methods. We developed a highly sensitive method for mass loss determination at temperatures starting from 350 K up to 800 K. The technique is based on fast scanning (10 000 K s-1) and an alternating current (AC) calorimeter equipped with a chip sensor, that consists of a free-standing SiNx-membrane (thickness < 1 µm) and a measuring area with lateral dimensions of the order of 1 mm. A small droplet (diameter ca. 300 µm) of an ionic liquid is vaporized isothermally from the chip sensor in a vacuum-chamber. The surface-to-volume-ratio of such a droplet is large and the relative mass loss due to evaporation is therefore easy to be monitored by the changing heat capacity (J K-1) of the remaining liquid. The vapor pressure is determined from the measured mass loss rates using the Langmuir equation. The method was successfully tested with determination of vapor pressures and the vaporization enthalpy of the archetypical ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([EMIm][NTf2]). The created in this way data set in the extremely broad temperature range 358 K to 780 K has allowed estimation of the boiling temperature of [EMIm][NTf2]. The value (1120 ± 50) K should be considered as the first reliable boiling point of this ionic liquid obtained from experimental vapor pressures measured in the most possible close proximity to the normal boiling temperature.
