Abstract

The phase diagram of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesufonyl)imide, [Pyrr ][NTf ], was explored by synchroton X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements as a function of temperature and pressure. Glass transition T (p) and melting T (p) temperatures were obtained from atmospheric pressure up to ca. 2.0 GPa. We found that both the T (p) and T (p) curves follow essentially the same pressure dependence. The similarity of pressure coefficients, dT /dp ≈ dT /dp, is explained within the non-equilibrium thermodynamics approach for the glass transition by assuming that one of the Ehrenfest equations is appropriated for T (p), whereas T (p) follows the Clausius-Clapeyron equation valid for the first-order transitions. The results highlight that ionic liquids are excellent model systems to address fundamental questions related to the glass transition.
