	abstract = {We studied the hydration characteristics of room-temperature ionic liquids (IL). We experimentally determined the excess chemical potentials, mu(i)(E), the excess partial molar enthalpies, H-i(E), and the excess partial molar entropies S-i(E) in IL-H2O systems at 25 degreesC. The ionic liquids studied were 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF4) and the iodide ([bmim]l). From these data, the excess (integral) molar enthalpy and entropy, H-m(E) and S-m(E), and the IL-IL enthalpic interaction, H-IL-IL(E), were calculated. Using these thermodynamic data, we deduced the mixing schemes, or the "solution structures", of IL-H2O systems. At infinite dilution IL dissociates in H2O, but the subsequent hydration is much weaker than for NaCl. As the concentration of IL increases, [bmim]l ions and the counteranions begin to attract each other up to a threshold mole fraction, x(IL) = 0.015 for [bmim]BF4 and 0.013 for [bmim]l. At still higher mole fractions, IL ions start to organize themselves, directly or in an H2O-Mediated manner. Eventually for x(IL) > 0.5-0.6, IL molecules form clusters of their own kind, as in their pure states. We show tha HI-L-IL, a third derivative of G, provided finer details than H-i(E) and S-i(E) second derivatives, which in turn gave more detailed information than H-m(E) and S-m(E), first derivative quantities.},

	abstract = {Excess partial molar enthalpies of l-propanol, H-1p(E), in 1-propanol-NaCl-H2O were measured directly, accurately, and in small increments in mole fraction of 1-propanol, x(1P), at 25 degrees C in the range x(NaCl) < 0.04 x(NaCl) is the mole fraction of NaCl. The enthalpic interaction function, H-1P-1P(E), between l-propanol molecules was then evaluated. H-1P-1P(E) is a convenient, model-free measure for the intermolecular interaction in terms of enthalpy. The behavior of these thermodynamic quantities was compared with that of the binary 1-propanol-H2O. Based on the knowledge accumulated in our laboratory on the binary aqueous l-propanol, the effect of NaCl on H2O became apparent. Our tentative conclusions are that (1) a NaCl molecule "binds" to seven or eight molecules of H2O on dissolving into H2O, and (2) the reminder of bulk H2O away from solute NaCl is not affected and stays almost the same as pure H2O.},
