The density, viscosity and conductivity of ionic liquids （ILs）, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate （[omim][BF4]）, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride （[omim][C1]）, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate （[hmim] BF4]）, 1-hexyl- 3-methylimidazolium chloride （[hmim][C1]）, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate （[hmim][PF6]）, and the [omim][BF4] ＋ [omim][Cl], [hmim][BF4] ＋ [hmim][C1], and [hmim][PF6] ＋ [hmim][C1] binary mixtures were studied at dif- ferent temperatures. It was demonstrated that the densities of both the neat ILs and their mixtures varied linearly with temper- ature. The density sensitivity of a binary mixture is between those of the two components. The excess molar volumes （l/e） of [hmim][BF4] ＋ [hmim][C1] and [hmim][PF6] ＋ [hmim][C1] mixtures are positive in the whole composition range. For [omim][BF4] ＋ [omim][C1], the VE is also positive in the [omirn][C1]-rich region, but is negative in the [omim][BF4]-rich re- gion. The viscosity or conductivity of a mixture is in the intermediate of those of the two neat ILs. For all the neat ILs and the binary mixtures studied, the order of conductivity is opposite to that of the viscosity. The Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher （VTF） equations can be used to fit the viscosity and conductivity of all the neat ILs and the binary mixtures. The neat ILs and their mixtures obey the Fractional Walden Rule very well, and the values of the Walden slopes are all smaller than unit, indicating obvious ion associations in the neat ILs and the binary mixtures.

Molecular interactions of a representative pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid 1-butyl-l-methyl-pyrrolidinium bis（triflorosulfonyl）- imide （[BMPyrr][TFSI]） with dimethyl sulfoxide （DMSO） and acetonitrile （AN） have been analyzed in this work. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （ATR-FTIR） and density functional theory （DFT） calculations are used in the investigation, while excess infrared spectra and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy are used to explore the data in detail. It has been found that the molecular solvents can interact with TFSI- （mainly with S=O and weakly with S-N-S group）. AN interacts feebly with BMPyrr＋ as compared with the strong interaction of DMSO. The strength of the interactions depends on the electron donating ability of the solvent. Upon mixing, hydrogen bonds regarding C-Hs in cation and S-N-S in anion are weakened, while that regarding S=O in anion is strengthened. Among the C-Hs which are connected directly with the N of the cation, Cl-H is the main interaction site for both DMSO and AN. This means that Cl-H is the most acidic hydrogen in pyrrolidinium cation.
