Abstract

The miscibility and distribution of Br^- and BF₄ ^- ions of imidazolium ionic liquid mixtures, l-hexyl-3- methylimidazolium bromide (HMIMBr) + l-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (HMIMBF₄), at the air/water surface were investigated by surface tensiometry and the total-reflection XAFS (TRXAFS) method. Tensiometry showed that the surface density Of BF₄ ^- was much larger than that of Br^-, the adsorbed films of the HMIMBr-HMIMBF₄ mixture were greatly enriched in BF ₄^- at all surface tensions, and the excess Gibbs energy of adsorption was positive. However, TRXAFS revealed that the Br ions were all in the free-Br state solvated by six water molecules in the mixed adsorbed film. Entropy-originated nonideal mixing, where a kind of segregation of the counterion distribution takes place in the interfacial region, was suggested in the mixture.
