The characterization of BAILs was carried out using NMR, FTIR and elemental analysis (CHNS). The thermophysical properties of these ILs such as density, refractive index, viscosity and thermal stability were analyzed in wide temperature window. Furthermore, the effect of alkyl chain length of cations on thermophysical properties was well studied. The experimental values of density were further used to calculate other significant properties such as molar volume, standard molar entropy, lattice energy and thermal expansion coefficients. The Brönsted acidities of investigated ILs were determined using Hammett method. Furthermore, COSMO-RS study was performed to determine δ-surface, and δ-profile of the studied ILs. © 2018 publisher: Elsevier B.V. date: 2018 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Sardar, S. and Wilfred, C.D. and Mumtaz, A. and Rashid, Z. and Leveque, J.-M.
