AbstractTop
In this article, we were investigated as a function of temperature,
densities (𝜌), dynamic viscosities (η), surface tension (σ), ionic
conductivity (κ), refractive indices (nD),and thermal conductivity
(λ) for the binary systems of the DMSO with ionic liquids (ILs) over
the whole composition range at temperature from 298.15 to 363.15
Kelvin under atmospheric pressure. The ILsinvestigated in the
present study included [Bu3NBn]Cl-2(MClm), (MClm= AlCl3,CuCl2,
FeCl3, SnCl4,ZnCl2) that synthesis for the first one in our laboratory.
At first, we investigated Biodegradation and Toxicity of the ILs as
served for Green Solvent. Then, the influence of temperature on the
thermo physical properties on the new series of room temperature
ionic liquids (RTILs), have been prepared and characterized using
TLC, CHNS, FT-IR and Mass Spectroscopy.Thermogravimetric analysis
(TGA) confirmed that the heat stability of ILs in the temperature
range of 400-800°C.A common and effective way to evaluate the
Acidity of Lewis acids was the Hammett method (Ho) that we used
them for RTILs. Also, Densities, dynamic viscosity, surface tension,
ionic conductivity, refractive indices, thermal conductivity deviations,
and dynamic viscosity deviations in for the binary systems with Di-
Methyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) were fitted to a Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann
(VFT) equation. In the end, we offer some useful applications and
future perspectives for these new ILs. In comparison with the other
ILs in that how do the thermo physical properties and the most

IntroductionTop
Large attention is being strained towards Ionic Liquids (ILs)
as alternatives for usual molecular solvents used in organic
synthesis and catalytic reactions [1]. They complement the family
of a"green solvents" counting water and supercritical fluids. In
order to check the biocompatibility of ILs, toxicity, eco-toxicity,
and biodegradation studies have to be carried out. ILs is usually
referred to as a "Green" alternatives to Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs). Instead of the "Green" marker, ILs can be characterized in
the arrangement of "Traffic Signal Lights as debated at the BATIL
(Biodegradation And Toxicity of Ionic Liquids) conference in
DECHEMA, Frankfurt, 2009[2]. Biodegradation is one technique of
investigation to define and calculate how Ionic Liquids interaction
with the environment. Among these, room temperature ionic
liquids are definite as materials containing only ionic species
and having a melting point lower than 298 K. They display
many interesting properties such as slight vapour pressure, low
melting point, and large liquid range, only one of its kind salvation
talents and generally, the flexibility of their physicochemical
properties makes them really attractive. Most of the ILs studied
is based on [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(AlCl3), [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(CuCl2), [Bu3NBn]
Cl-2(FeCl3), [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(SnCl4) and [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(ZnCl2).
They have been recently proposed as solvents in chemical
reactions [3]. multiphase bioprocess operations [4] and liquidliquid
separations [5] electrolytes for batteries and fuel cells
[6] stationary phases in gas chromatography[7] mobile phase
additives in liquid chromatography[8] and electrolyte additive
sin capillary electrophoresis (CE) [9].However, the awareness of
their physicochemical properties, which has been revealed to be
directly related to their purity level, for instance, the temperature
dependence of density, dynamic viscosity, conductivity, surface
tension, refractive index, and thermal conductivity.
Among the known ionic liquids, those series having asymmetric quaternary ammonium cations are assumed to be one of the most promising for battery electrolyte use because they exhibit a wider electrochemical window, especially along a cathodic direction, and than imidazolium cation-based ionic liquids [10]. However, quaternary ammonium-based ionic liquids have the drawback of low ionic conductivity at 10-3 S cm-1 or lower. Indeed, salts based on small quaternary ammonium cations are basically solid around room temperature.11 In contrast, an increase in cation size decreases cation mobility. The mixing of cations is expected to lower the melting point of the salt as reported by Sun ET al [12].
In spite of the interesting feature and practical importance of Isothere are limited literature reports on the accurate measurements of many of their fundamental physical and chemical properties at various temperatures [13]. Thus, in this paper we wish to report the results of our studies on the physical, electrochemical, thermodynamic and transport properties of [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(AlCl3), [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(CuCl2), [Bu3NBn] Cl- 2(FeCl3) and [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(SnCl4), [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(ZnCl2). Molecular structures of the five ILs are shown in the scheme. 1. The properties physical of these five ILs, accurately measured at atmospheric pressure and several temperatures include density, viscosity, thermal stability, surface tension, refractive index, conductivity, and thermal conductivity. The measured densities as a function of the temperature from 298.15 to 363.15K, Also we measured the Hammett parameter (Ho) that a common and effective way to evaluate the acidity of Lewis acids we used them for RTILs [14].

Experimental SectionTop
Preparation of ionic liquids
Materials: Chemicals of analytical grade were used for the
synthesis of the ILs. Tributylamine and DMSO were purchased
from the Sigma-Aldrich. (>99 % of purity), salts such as AlCl3,
CuCl2, FeCl3, SnCl4, ZnCl2, were purchased from Merck. The purity
of the ILs was further confirmed by FT-IR and Mass- spectroscopy
and elemental analysis. The RTILs were prepared from the
corresponding chlorides according to the procedures reported in
literature [15].
Synthesis of ILs: [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(AlCl3), [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(CuCl2), [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(FeCl3), [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(SnCl4) and [Bu3NBn] Cl- 2(ZnCl2). Initially, tri-butyl Ammine Chloride and benzene chloride was added in 1:1 to a round-bottom flask, Acetonitrile were added and stirred thoroughly, and then anhydrous MClm was added in 1:2 molar ratio to an oil path under the protection of dry nitrogen in stages forming a liquid. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and then was heated to 800C. The Chloro metallic ionic liquid was required to be kept in desiccators because it easily reacts with moisture [16]. Yield reaction 68%, Scheme 1. Scheme 1

Results and DiscussionTop
Toxicity and Eco (toxicity) of Ionic Liquids
Over the last decade, although a single toxicological test
yields valuable, regardless of restricted information, plenty
of publications have established a wide variety of a biological
test systems for toxicity testing of ionic liquids [17], [18]. This
contains fungi, bacteria, algae, enzymes, rat cell line, fish, and so
forth.
Stock and colleagues highlighted that the consequence of ionic liquids on acetyl cholinesterase [19]. Enzymes are a vital fragment of the human nervous system. Acetyl cholinesterase is recognized to catalyze the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, to acetate and choline. Inhibition of acetyl cholinesterase results in muscular paralysis and other medically significant nervous problems. A array of regularly used [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(AlCl3), [Bu3NBn]Cl-2(CuCl2), [Bu3NBn]Cl-2(FeCl3), [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(SnCl4) and [Bu3NBn]Cl-2(ZnCl2)ionic liquids were tested in this analyse. [Bu3NBn]Cl-2(SnCl4) ionic liquid presented high toxicity to acetyl cholinesterase at very low absorptions, while [Bu3NBn] Cl-2(FeCl3) ionic liquid was non-toxic within the test limits. This testing revealed that toxicity of these ionic liquids lies in the cationic part and tri-butyl Ammine Benzen on the side chain and not in the anionic part.
Another significant result of this assessment was that growing the length of alkyl side chains rises the toxicity. This can be clarified as long alkyl chain increases lipophilic nature of the ionic liquids, which can then simply combine within the biological membrane of nerve cell synapses [20]. Comparable trends between the toxicity and length of alkyl chain on luminescence inhibition of Vibrio fischeri and promyelocytic leukaemia rat cell line IPC-81 were reported by Ranke and co-workers [21].
Leukemia rat cell line IPC-81 was also used to detect the cytotoxic effect of commercially accessible anions [22]. The major anion effect was found under the test system as following respectively.
[Bu3NBn][Cu2Cl5]˃[Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7]˃[Bu3NBn][Al2Cl7]˃ [Bu3NBn] [Sn2Cl9]˃ [Bu3NBn][Zn2Cl5].
Bernot and associates confirmed that severe toxicity of certain 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium ionic liquids on Daphnia Magna was mostly due to the cationic part [23]. Daphnia Magna has been widely used for ecotoxicological assessment of chemicals in invertebrates. Ionic liquids were found to impact of the duplicate of Daphnia Magna. [Bu3NBn][Zn2Cl5] was found to be the most toxic in the test system (LC50: 3.05 mg/L). This study revealed that the toxicity of ionic liquids was influenced by the cation component, which was established by high LC50 values for sodium salts of analogous anions. Yu and co-workers testified the toxicity study of tributyl-Ammine-Benzencholoridionic liquid towards the antioxidant defense system of Daphnia Magna [24]. Swelling the length of alkyl side chain with a difference of metal was found again to surge toxicity. Toxicity of ionic liquids, in this case, was owed to oxidative strain in Daphnia Magna, which was evaluated by measuring the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes, levels of the antioxidant [Bu3NBn] and metal i.e. per oxidation byproduct of lipid. [Bu3NBn][Sn2Cl9] presented very high toxicity with an LC50 of 0.03 mg/L less than 48 h incubation times.
In work to evaluate the eco (toxicity) of ionic liquids, Yun and associates informed evaluate of freshwater microalgae Selenastrum capricornutum [25]. Thechloride salts of commonly used [Bu3NBn] [Cu2Cl5]˃ [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7]˃ [Bu3NBn][Al2Cl7]˃ [Bu3NBn][Sn2Cl9]˃[Bu3NBn][Zn2Cl5] ILs were tested against the S. capricornutum and compared with traditional watermiscible organic solvents such as methanol, 2-propanol, and dimethylformamide. Increase in the toxicity of imidazolium cations was observed with an increase in incubation time, whereas the opposite trend was found in the case of tetrabutylammonium ILs. The growth inhibition of S. capricornutum was higher in ionic liquids than organic solvents. A similar test system was applied to investigate the toxicological effect of anions [26]. Toxicity of various anions incorporated with tributyl-Ammine- Benzencholorid cation was compared with their respective sodium and potassium salts. The anions were found to inhibit the growth of freshwater algae S. capricornutum. The clear trend in algae toxicity was observed as choloride (Cl-). Toxicity studies (in fish, aquatic plants/invertebrates) on anionic surfactants have shown that toxicity is dependent on a number of factors such as alkyl chain length, solubility, and stability in water [27]. As the length of alkyl chain increases, toxicity increases until certain limits. Further increase in chain length can decrease the hydrophilic nature of these materials, reducing the bioavailability of compound which results in a general decrease in the toxicity [28].
In order for how do the thermo physical properties compare with the new design ILs of these systems when compared to the ones reported in the literature, reference for data demonstration of toxicity of ionic liquids and regularly used organic solvents [2,29].

ILs, supporting the design of safer analogs where requisite,
decreasing environmentally persistent molecules in ecosystems.

Freshwater
Because of the bigger size of the oxygen tank in the
circumstance of the ISO 10708 bottle equalled to the technique
defined by the OECD 301D, Table 1, a higher test material
absorptions can be used in the ISO 10708 test as the total of
oxygen inthe bottle was fewer of a limiting issue. Table 1

The biodegradation in seawater test OECD Table 1, differsfrom
the standard31experimentsin that the only microorganisms
existent were those set up indeed in the seawater test means.
The container was not charged with further inocula, while it was

Soil, sediment, and water
Owing to the natural complications of consuming a solid
standard for biodegradation and the use of Radiolabeled atoms,
there are a number of factors recommended by the OECD that
can be used to display the fate of chemical complexes in soil or
sedimentary environment.
Major direction or pseudo-first command rate constant for
biodegradation kinetics.

Half-saturation constant
The maximum exact growth rate [31].
One other arranged test for inherent biodegradation of chemical compounds in the soil exists for ILs is in the OECD TG, Table 1.

[Zn2Cl5] ILs in soil were scrutinized for their biodegradability.
In this test, a passspot is not given and biodegradation is only
detected. Below the test circumstances, the test composite is
mixed with soil and sited in a great beaker vessel with CO growth
commonly dignified. Soil can be a species-rich blend but it is
predictable that the action will be less than a stimulated sludge
so the test is run over a 5 days period. In this particular study,
it was found that the linear alkyl [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7]example
undertook degradation of 35.1 ± 5.6% with the N(CN)derivative
being less biodegradable than other halides, producing14.0 ±
1.6% degradation.
Determination of water content
Before their use, the ionic liquids samples were dried and
degassed under vacuum (10-3bar)at 85 °C during 3 h. After this
treatment, the mass fraction of water determined by coulometric

Density
Density was measured in a 25 ml pyknometer. In general,
density precisions are ±0.0005 g cm-3.The temperature was
maintained using a thermostatic bath with a precision of ±0.01
K. All density measurements were repeated at least three times.
Densities of the ILs as a function of temperature are shown in
Fig. 1. As expected, densities decrease linearly with increasing
temperature and can be well correlated by the linear regression
(r2> 0.999).
The temperature-dependent densities (𝜌), refractive indices (nD), surface tension (σ) and thermal conductivity (Κ) values were fitted by the method of least squares using the following equations (1) [32].
Where fitting parameter B and A are related to the coefficient of volume expansion (gcm-3 K-1) and extrapolated density at 0K (gcm-3), respectively and T is the temperature (K). The adjustable parameters of Eq. (2) for the density of these ILs are summarized in Table 1.

Viscosity
In our viscosity measurements, ILs showed no deviation from
Newtonian behaviour in the investigated temperature range.
Kinematic viscosities were obtained using an LVDV-IPRIME
model viscometer made of Brookfield Co and capillary tube deep
in athermostated bath with a precision of ±0.01 K. The dynamic
viscosities were calculated from the densities with a precision
equal to 0.03 mPas. All measurements were repeated two
times. Sample viscosities were first determined as a function of
the temperature during a heating cycle from (298.15 to363.15)
K. Data on viscosity for the ILs at temperatures ranging from
(298.15 to363.15) K. are shown in Fig 2.
The temperature dependency of the dynamic viscosity values fit well to the Vogela Tammann aFulcher (VTF) equation (2) [32].

Refractive Index
AnAbbe Refractometry Model ATAGO-T3 programmable
digital with a measuring accuracy of(4 10-5) was used to measure
the refractive index ofvarious ILs in a temperature range of
(298.15 to 363.15) K. Thetemperature was controlled with an
accuracy of (0.05) K. The apparatus was calibrated and checked
before each series of measurements using pure organic solvents
(ethanol) with known refractive indices.35Refractive Indicescan

Surface Tension
We used Stalagmometer dope of falling for estimated surface
tension ILs. The surface tension of the ILs has been measured as
a function of temperature. The experimental data decrease with
increase in temperature in Fig 4. These values were compared
with those obtained with [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7] has high surface
tension than Lewis ILs. Based on these data, it appears that the
surface tension lowly decreases with increases temperature. The
relationship between surface tension and temperature can be
fitting by the Eq (1). Table 6
The present synthesized ionic liquids show a weak temperature dependency on the surface tension in Fig 4.

Thermal conductivity
The thermal conductivity was measured by using a KD2
thermal property meter (decagon, Canada), which is basedon the
transient hot-wire method. The KD2 meter has a probe with 60
mm length and 0.9 mm diameter, which integrates into its interior
a heating element and a thermo-resistor, and is connected to a
microprocessor for controlling and conducting the measurements.
The KD2 meter was calibrated by using distilled water and
standard ethylene glycol before any set of measurements. In
order to study the effect of temperature, a thermostat bath was
used, which was able to keep the temperature gularity within
the range of ±0.1 K. At least five measurements were taken for
each temperature to make sure the uncertainty of measurements
almost±2%.
The relationship between thermal conductivity (?) and temperature of can be fitting by the Eq (1) and fitting parameters listed in table 5. Table 7

Electrical Conductivity
Electrical conductivity is one of the most main properties of
ILs as electrolyte materials.36The electrical conductivity (?) of
the ionic liquids was analytically measured with a conductivity
meter CTR80 (ZAG-CHEMIE). Electrical conductivity was
measured by means of the complex impedance method, using a
thermometer, under atmosphere for determined temperature.
The cell constant was determined by calibration after each sample
measurement using an aqueous 0.02 M KCl aqueous solution. The
?data for the considered aqueous RTIL systems were measured
for temperatures ranging from (298.15 to 348.15) K at normal
atmospheric pressure. Table 6 presented the obtained ? Table 8

Determination of Ho values of Lewis acidic ILs
A common and effective way to evaluate the acidity of
Bronsted acids was the Hammett method.37 In reported papers,
the measurement of the acidic scale of these acidic Bronsted
ILs was conducted on a UV-Vis spectrophotometer with a basic
indicator (para-nitroaniline).Increasing the acidic scale of the
acidic IL, the absorbance of the unprotonated form of the basic
indicator was decreased, whereas the protonated form of the
indicator was not observed because of its small molar absorptive
and its wavelength. Thus [I]/[HI] ([I] representsthe indicator)
ratio was determined from the measured absorbance differences
afteraddition of an acidic Bronsted IL, and then the Hammett
function, Ho, was calculated by using Eq 7
This value was regarded as the relative acidity of the
IL.8WherepK(I)aq was the pKa value of the indicator, [I] and [HI]
were respectively, the molar concentrations of the unprotonated
and protonated forms of the indicator, determined by UV-visible
spectroscopy. Figure 7
Figure 7: UV-Vis absorption spectra of ILs
Under the same concentration of 4-nitroaniline (10
mg/L, Pk(I)aq=pKa = 0.99) and Lewis ILs (0.1 mmol/L) in
dichloromethane, Hovalues of all Lewis ILs were determined. The
maximal absorbance of the unprotonated form of the indicator
was observed at 350 nm in dichloromethane. When Lewis IL
was added, the absorbance of theunprotonated form of the basic
indicator decreased (Figure 7 and Table 7). Table 10
Hammett acidity (Ho) of these Lewis ILs was calculated using equations (7). As shown in Figure 7. Calculations suggest that the Hammett acidity (Ho) of these ionic liquids follows the order: [Bu3NBn] [Cu2Cl5]>[Bu3NBn][Sn2Cl9]>[Bu3NBn][Al2Cl7]>[Bu3NBn] [Zn2Cl5]> [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7].
A comparison between the experimental data for the physical properties of the studied Lewis ILs at 25 °C has also made in Table 8. To the best of our knowledge, no literature data on densities (??), dynamic viscosities (?), surface tension (s), electrical conductivity (?), refractive indices (nD) and thermal conductivity (?), were not previously available for five studied ILs. As is obvious from Table 8, the experimental data for[Bu3NBn][Al2Cl7], [Bu3NBn][Cu2Cl5], [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7], [Bu3NBn][Sn2Cl9]and [Bu3NBn][Zn2Cl5].

Thermal properties
Thermo gravimetric analysis was applied to evaluate the
thermal properties of the Lewis IL sat a heating rate of 10°C/
min, under a nitrogen atmosphere. Figure 8 demonstrates
the respective TGA profiles and the corresponding thermo
analysis data, including the temperatures at which5% (T5) and
10% (T10) degradation occur. Char yield at 800°C and also
limiting oxygen index(LOI) based on Van Krevelen and Hoftyzer
equation(Equation (8)) is summarized in Table 9 [17].
From these data, it is clear that the [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7] is stable to300°C and introduction of inorganic particles in IL matrix induced the thermal properties to rise. Table 11

ConclusionsTop
The data of physical properties on ionic liquids are necessary
for both theoretical research and industrial application. The
establishment of the databases in this respect will certainly
support the study and advance of ionic liquids. Due to the
development of green chemistry in recent years, researchers have
been interested in the application of ionic liquids can apply as
green catalysts, Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Regard
to these unique features, In spite of the interesting feature and
practical importance of ILs, there are limited literature reports
on the accurate measurements of many of their fundamental
physical and chemical properties at various temperatures. Size
particle affected on physical chemistry properties of ILs. The
weight particle influenced on physical chemistry properties of
ILs. Structure ILs affected on properties physical chemistry of
ILs. Hydrogen bonding internal molecular influenced on physical
chemistry properties of ILs. Electrical charge particle influenced
on physical chemistry properties of ILs. Temperature affected on
properties physical chemistry of ILs. Principle HARD and SAFT
influenced on properties physical chemistry of ILs.
Thus, in this work, we have carefully measured several important physical properties of Lewis ionic liquids: [Bu3NBn] [Al2Cl7], [Bu3NBn][Cu2Cl5], [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7], [Bu3NBn][Sn2Cl9] and [Bu3NBn][Zn2Cl5]over a wide range of temperature from (298.15 to 363.15 K). Clearly, much more attention should be paid on the measurement of physicochemical properties of Lewis ionic liquids.
Bu3NBn][Cu2Cl5]?[Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7]?[Bu3NBn][Al2Cl7]? [Bu3NBn][Sn2Cl9]?[Bu3NBn][Zn2Cl5]
The measured densities, ??, and the dynamic viscosities, ?, for the binary mixtures of [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7] with water at T = (298.15to 363.15) K over the whole composition range are listed in Tables 1 and 2.As can be seen, the density of all of the mixtures with DMSO always decreases with temperature. A very good linear correlation is observed for all compositions (r = 1), this linear behavior with temperature.
The experimental viscosity results of Lewis ILs from this study are in good agreement with the very scarce data from the literature and are well represented by the VTF equation. At the same temperature, [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7] have high very significantly the viscosity of other Five ILs. Presencemetal atoms perhaps make up high viscosity this IL than other ILs.Since the viscosities of ILs are essentially effective by the van derWaals interactions and H bonding,have reported the influence of metal atoms, DMSOon the physical properties of [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7]. It hasbeen shown that the presence of even low concentrations of chloride in the [Bu3NBn][Fe2Cl7] substantially increases the viscosity.
Figure 5 shows the thermal conductivity of Lewis ILs as a function of temperature.It can be seen that the thermal conductivity of [Bu3NBn][Al2Cl7] is 0.68 Wm-1C-1. This indicates that [Bu3NBn][Al2Cl7] is a relatively poor thermal conductor with the thermal conductivity approximately of that of water at the room temperature. Electrically conductive Lewis ILs is influence of temperature. Besides, Thermo gravimetric analysis was demonstrated to evaluate the thermal properties of the Lewis ILs.
