Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Not applicable, ionic liquids are not volatile.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Ionic liquids are salts which melt below 100°C, preferential below room temperature.
This for salts unusual behaviour belongs to the fact that the constructive ions have a delocalised charge distribution and are asymmetrical.
That’s why they grab inefficiently into undefined structures in the ion-lattice.
This ineffective and less precise package leads to less energy of crystallisation, higher entropy and therefore low melting points.
The inefficient packing of the ions can not prevent that the interaction among them is strong enough to prevent boiling at atmosphere pressure. Hence ionic liquids are not volatile.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
