“…To elucidate the influence of microscopic structure on macroscopic transport properties of the imidazolium-based ILs, we have performed calculations on pure Figure 6, together with their 2D representations. Selectivity parameters involved in chemical reactivity such as HOMO (the highest occupied molecular orbital) and LUMO (the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) atomic distribution and their energy diagram were predicted and used to calculate other related properties such as: HOMO -LUMO energy gap (E), electron affinity (E), ionization potential (I), electronegativity (χ), chemical hardness (η), global softness (σ), chemical potential (µ), global electrophilicity index (ω), according to Koopmans' theorem [47,48]. Their values are listed in Table 4, along with molecular volume, dipole moment and polarizability.…”
