Novel force field of [Bmim][Nf${}_2$T] and its tranferability in a mixture with water

Abstract

In this work, a new force field is presented for the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [Bmim][Nf${}_2$T]. As a part of the εforce field, the acronym IL/εis used to refer to this ionic liquid. This new force field reproduces the dielectric constant, the density, and the entalphy of vaporization, with an error of less than 3%, being posible to generate new force fields for ionic liquids, based on the flexibility of the molecule. In addition, a study of the [Bmim][Nf${}_2$T]-H${}_2$O mixture is performed from pure IL to pure water, passing through various concentrations.
