The solubility of carbon dioxide in a series of imidazolium-based room-temperature ionic liquids has been determined using a quartz crystal microbalance. Henry's constants were obtained for CO2 in nine different ionic liquids: 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C(3)mimTf(2)N), 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C(4)mimTf(2)N), C(4)mimTf(2)N with polyethylenimine, 1-n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C(6)mimTf(2)N), 1-methyl-3-n-octylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C(8)mimT(2)fN), 1-methyl-3-(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl)imidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide (C(8)F(13)mimTf(2)N), 1,4-dibutyl-3-phenylimidazolium bis[trifluoro-methylsulfonyl]amide, 1-butyl-3-phenylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]amide, and 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (C(3)mimPF(6)). All results were obtained at 25 degreesC with CO2 pressures at or less than I bar. A comparison of results helps in understanding the role of chemical structure on the separation capabilities of these materials. Notable among the results is a significantly greater measured CO2 solubility in the ionic liquid having the fluorine-substituted cation as compared to the corresponding ionic liquid with a nonfluorinated cation. CO2 solubility was found to be lower in the ionic liquid containing PF6- than for the corresponding liquid with Tf2N- anion. Addition of an imine polymer to the ionic liquid did not significantly change CO2 solubility characteristics. The presence of water had a minor effect on CO2 solubility for C(8)mimTf(2)N for environments with a relative humidity of 40% or less. Henry's constant for CO2 in C(3)mimPF(6) obtained in this study is in good agreement with previously reported Henry's constant values for CO2 in C(4)MimPF(6) that were obtained by other means. This study not only provides some important thermodynamic property information for these unique materials but also illustrates the utility of using a quartz crystal microbalance to obtain this information.
