General description

1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride is an organic salt and a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). It is used as a solvent in many organic reactions due to its unique properties like small vapor pressures, high thermal stabilities and ionic conductivities.

1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride is an imidazolium-based ionic liquid used as a solvent in the Diels−Alder Reaction.

Application

EMIC may be used in the preparation of aluminum chloride-EMIC, zinc chloride-EMIC and EMIC /tetrafluoroborate molten salts, which are useful in electrodeposition studies.

We present here equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation results for self-diffusion coefficients, shear viscosity, and electrical conductivity in a model ionic liquid (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride) at different temperatures. The Green-Kubo relations were employed to evaluate the transport coefficients. When compared with available
