Assessing Thermodynamic Data of CO2 capture by Ionic Liquids through Hard and Soft Base THeory

Nowadays ionic liquids (IL) are target of massive research in CO2 captures technologies, due to its thermic degradation resistance, low vapour pressure and low requirement of power for regeneration. All these properties, including solubility capacity, are known to vary with the nature of the IL cation and anion. The main goal of this study was calculate electronic indicators for ILs that have thermodynamic data available and verify the existence of correlation between then, providing a possible new way to get information of these processes.
