All the synthesized PILs were liquids at room temperature. The PILs were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance, elemental analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis was conducted to determine the decomposition temperature of the PILs. The PILs were then subjected to thermophysical properties study where their densities, viscosities, refractive indices, and surface tensions were measured within the temperature range of 298.15 to 363.15 K at atmospheric pressure and correlated with established empirical equations. Other thermophysical properties such as molar volume, standard entropy, and lattice potential energy were determined using the measured density data whilst the surface excess energy and entropy were estimated using the measured surface tension data. © 2017 Elsevier B.V. date: 2017 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85010766137&doi=10.1016%2fj.molliq.2017.01.050&partnerID=40&md5=b7427faa4f4b2dd52d7ae61ca1a184bf id_number: 10.1016/j.molliq.2017.01.050 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Molecular Liquids volume: 230 pagerange: 565-573 refereed: TRUE issn: 01677322 citation: Al Kaisy, G.M.J. and Mutalib, M.I.A. and Leveque, J.M. and Rao, T.V.V.L.N.
