Determination of the polarities of some ionic liquids using 2-nitrocyclohexanone as the probe

J Org Chem. 2005 Sep 30;70(20):8193-6. doi: 10.1021/jo050288g.

Abstract

Solute-solvent interactions on the keto-enol tautomerism of 2-nitrocyclohexanone in several organic solvents and room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been analyzed in terms of multiparameter equations. Permittivity and cohesive pressure values of the RTILs, unavailable by direct measurements, have been derived.
