Popis: Protic ionic liquids (PILs), made from anhydrous mixtures of Bronsted acids HA and bases B (HA + B → BH++ A−), occasionally suffer from limited ionicity. In cases of “poor” PILs (A(and thus the association constants KA) as functions of three fundamental properties: the acid/base mixing ratio (n = xA/xB), the HA-to-B proton-transfer strength (ΔpKa,ε=78), and the dielectric constant (relative permittivity) of the mixture (ε). Parameter values were obtained from fits to constant-dielectric quantum chemistry data (obtained and presented here). These ΔGAfunctions were then used to predict ΔGionizvalues for the net ion-generating (autoionization) equilibrium in carboxylic acid/amine mixtures: [Formula: see text], where n = xA/xBand d = degree of disproportionation. The agreement with experiment was excellent, demonstrating that these equations could have useful predictive power.
