Abstract

The molecular volume Vm (that is, the sum of the ionic volumes Vion of the constituent ions) of an ionic liquid (IL) in combination with an anion-dependent empirical relationship is all one needs to predict physical properties such as viscosity, conductivity, and density of [N(CN)2]-, [BF4]-, [PF6]-, and [N(SO2CF3)2]- ionic liquids, including those which may as yet only exist on paper.
