E-mail: schroer@uni-bremen.de Refractive index as function of the temperature in the homogeneous phase and in the two phase region for the mixtures of the RTIL C 6mim+BF4- with alcanols. The critical temperatures are Tc = 303.64 K, 315.10 K, 303.05 K, and 317.32 K for the solutions in 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 2-butanol, and 2pentanol, respectively. The upper phase is the alcohol-rich phase, which has the lower refractive index. 1-butanol T/K 314.92 313.37 311.72 310.48 309.00 307.38 305.98 305.51 304.92 304.54 304.15 304.10 304.28 304.02 303.98 303.89 303.85 303.78 303.74 303.72 303.69 303.67 303.65 T/K 303.63 303.61 303.59 303.54 303.45 303.35 303.22 303.00 302.72 302.48 301.91 301.11 299.95 298.35 296.43 294.63 293.37 1-pentanol n 1.39560 1.39605 1.39662 1.39712 1.39766 1.39820 1.39872 1.39889 1.39907 1.39923 1.39928 1.39928 1.39926 1.39929 1.39941 1.39942 1.39942 1.39943 1.39944 1.39944 1.39944 1.39945 1.39945 nu 1.39879 1.39814 1.39771 1.39738 1.39695 1.39664 1.39632 1.39602 1.39573 1.39554 1.39527 1.39515 1.39517 1.39524 1.39567 1.39607 1.39653 nl 1.40022 1.40087 1.40120 1.40175 1.40220 1.40265 1.40310 1.40367 1.40435 1.40492 1.40575 1.40692 1.40813 1.40971 1.41121 1.41246 1.41344 T/K 323.82 321.65 319.88 318.11 316.96 316.45 316.07 315.77 315.45 315.41 315.37 315.30 315.25 315.20 315.18 315.16 315.11 T/K 315.09 315.08 315.07 315.02 314.96 314.90 314.79 314.62 314.38 314.05 313.41 312.94 311.91 311.01 309.67 308.37 306.89 304.92 2-butanol n 1.39983 1.40052 1.40125 1.40186 1.40215 1.40234 1.40251 1.40255 1.40282 1.40282 1.40283 1.40284 1.40285 1.40286 1.40297 1.40286 1.40298 nu 1.40233 1.40201 1.40190 1.40158 1.40137 1.40117 1.40097 1.40077 1.40059 1.40042 1.40030 1.40037 1.40041 1.40065 1.40084 1.40123 1.40165 1.40212 nl 1.40363 1.40396 1.40418 1.40440 1.40462 1.40496 1.40530 1.40565 1.40601 1.40659 1.40734 1.40784 1.40895 1.40962 1.41066 1.41148 1.41253 1.41354 T/K 314.64 313.19 311.38 309.69 308.85 307.75 307.17 306.48 305.72 305.25 304.88 304.56 304.17 303.74 303.30 303.20 303.15 303.13 303.11 303.09 303.06 T/K 303.04 303.02 302.98 302.93 302.89 302.80 302.69 302.56 302.37 301.98 301.87 301.43 300.65 299.69 298.20 296.17 293.58 2-pentanol n 1.39339 1.39404 1.39464 1.39520 1.39565 1.39602 1.39620 1.39652 1.39683 1.39700 1.39716 1.39720 1.39736 1.39752 1.39769 1.39770 1.39770 1.39771 1.39771 1.39771 1.39772 nu 1.39635 1.39591 1.39569 1.39548 1.39527 1.39495 1.39474 1.39454 1.39434 1.39394 1.39385 1.39368 1.39355 1.39355 1.39371 1.39404 1.39496 nl 1.39909 1.39953 1.39975 1.40008 1.40041 1.40075 1.40120 1.40165 1.40211 1.40314 1.40326 1.40407 1.40525 1.40644 1.40790 1.40973 1.41182 T/K 328.09 325.48 323.30 320.96 319.91 319.23 318.66 318.13 318.00 317.83 317.66 317.51 317.47 317.39 317.37 317.325 T/K 317.315 317.30 317.28 317.24 317.20 317.09 316.92 316.69 316.39 316.07 315.45 314.86 313.62 312.26 310.93 309.52 307.19 305.33 n 1.39449 1.39551 1.39643 1.39726 1.39755 1.39777 1.39797 1.39816 1.39829 1.39832 1.39845 1.39848 1.39848 1.39850 1.39861 1.39861 nu 1.39774 1.39753 1.39731 1.39710 1.39678 1.39658 1.39627 1.39620 1.39603 1.39586 1.39574 1.39572 1.39590 1.39610 1.39651 1.39693 1.39768 1.39836 nl 1.39949 1.39971 1.40004 1.40026 1.40059 1.40094 1.40140 1.40198 1.40246 1.40305 1.40379 1.40442 1.40558 1.40686 1.40791 1.40897 1.41046 1.41167 Electronic Supplementary Material for PCCP This Journal is © The Owner Societies 2004 Table 1 Parameters of the fits of the coexistence curve represented by the Lorenz-Lorentz function by a single exponential and by Wegner expansions with up to two correction terms.
