Viscosity of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate at high pressure

Abstract

The viscosities of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([hmim][PF6]) and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([omim][PF6]) were measured with a rolling ball viscometer. The experimental temperatures were from (293.15 to 353.15) K and pressures were up to 20.0 MPa. The experimental values were correlated with a Vogel - Tamman - Fulcher (VTF) equation and a Tail-form equation. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
