in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out on CO 2 -[bmim] [PF 6 ] mixtures using a refined atomistic potential model for the ionic liquid, at different concentrations of CO 2 . The expansion in volume as a function of added CO 2 was found to agree well with experiments at all but the highest concentration. Significant concentration dependent differences in the radial distribution function of CO 2 around the anion have been observed. These differences have been attributed to the specific interaction between CO 2 and the anions. The diffusion coefficients of the ions and of CO 2 have been found to increase with increase in CO 2 concentration. The rotational relaxation of CO 2 molecule in solution is found to be biexponential, and the mean relaxation times decreases with increasing CO 2 concentration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
