Infinite
dilution activity coefficients (γ
i
∞) of 31
organic solutes (alkanes, cycloalkanes, olefins, aromatics, chlorinated
alkanes, alcohols, and other polar organic solutes) in the ionic liquid
(IL) 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazole thiocyanate ([BMMIM][SCN]) were
determined by gas–liquid chromatographic (GLC) method in the
temperature range of 313.15–353.15 K. The infinite dilution
partial molar excess enthalpies (H̅
i
E, ∞), entropies (T
ref
S̅
i
E, ∞), and Gibbs free energies (G̅
i
E, ∞) of the organic solutes at the reference
temperature T = 298.15 K and the solubility parameters
(δ3) of [BMMIM][SCN] were derived from γ
i
∞. The gas–liquid partition coefficients (K
L) of solutes at different temperatures were calculated
by referring to the densities of [BMMIM][SCN]. The linear free energy
relationship solvation model was used to fit the K
L values, and the K
L prediction
model was obtained. The selectivity (S
ij
∞) and capacity (k
j
∞) of n-hexane
(i)/benzene (j) and cyclohexane
(i)/benzene (j) at infinite dilution
at 323.15 K were calculated. The results were compared with the values
of ILs with the thiocyanate anion in the literature.
