The structures and purity of the products were confirmed by using 1H and 13C NMR and CHNS elemental analysis. The effect of structural variations on the thermophysical properties, namely, refractive index, density, and viscosity, was evaluated in a wide temperature range. The viscosity and density values were measured within the temperature range of 293.15-373.15 K. The density values were used further to calculate more properties like thermal expansion coefficient, molecular volume, standard entropy, and the lattice energy. Moreover, the experimental values of viscosity were used for the calculation of activation energy. Refractive indices were measured within the temperature range of 293.15-323.15 K, and these values were also used in the calculation of electronic polarizability. Acid numbers of the prepared PILs were measured and correlated with their structure moiety. In addition, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to get a deeper insight into the effect of structural variations of the ion pairs on their physical properties. © 2017 American Chemical Society. date: 2017 publisher: American Chemical Society official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85031326692&doi=10.1021%2facs.jced.6b00450&partnerID=40&md5=d884fd2414fa55973a399a969919191f id_number: 10.1021/acs.jced.6b00450 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data volume: 62 number: 10 pagerange: 2993-3003 refereed: TRUE issn: 00219568 citation: Khan, A.S. and Man, Z. and Bustam, M.A. and Gonfa, G. and Chong, F.K. and Ullah, Z. and Nasrullah, A. and Sarwono, A. and Ahmad, P. and Muhammad, N.
