Personal Precautions: Evacuate spill area; avoid breathing vapors or contact with spilled liquid
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering water bodies or drains. Inform appropriate regulatory authorities in case of large spills.
Methods for Cleanup: Absorb with inert materials (sand, diatomaceous earth), scoop into labeled containers; ventilate area; wash surfaces with soapy water
Emergency Procedures: Restrict access to area, use appropriate PPE, and dispose of waste responsibly
Handling: Wear gloves, eye protection, and lab coats. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood.
Safe Practices: Handle away from sources of ignition or heat, do not eat or drink while using this material
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed in original container at ambient temperature, in a dry, well-ventilated, and labeled area
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, strong oxidizers, sources of ignition, and water for hydrolytically unstable ionic liquids
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood for laboratory tasks; ensure eyewash stations and showers are accessible
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), goggles or face shield, lab coat, closed-toe shoes
Respiratory Protection: Wear organic vapor respirator during large-scale use or if fume hood unavailable
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits; minimize exposure using best laboratory practices
Appearance: Pale yellow to colorless oily liquid
Odor: Mild characteristic, sometimes faintly citrus
pH: Not applicable (pure liquid); aqueous solutions mildly acidic
Melting Point: 18–25°C
Boiling Point: Decomposes above 300°C
Flash Point: >150°C (Closed Cup)
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, miscible with organic solvents like acetonitrile and dichloromethane
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature
Viscosity: High at ambient conditions
Density: 1.30–1.37 g/cm³
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended handling and storage conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to strong oxidizing agents, moisture, excessive heat
Hazardous Reactions: Strong acids/bases may degrade imidazolium structure; possible hydrolysis if wet
Decomposition Products: Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, SOx, NOx, HF, imidazole
Reactivity: Not known to polymerize or self-react; sensitive to high temperature and strong chemical influences
Acute Toxicity: LD50 not fully established; data from related imidazolium salts indicate low to moderate acute oral and dermal toxicity
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes reversible irritation upon contact
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause eye irritation, redness, or discomfort
Respiratory Sensitization: Not expected at lab scale with proper ventilation; inhalation of aerosols may irritate mucous membranes
Chronic Effects: No known long-term effects from short-term studies, but ionic liquids are not fully evaluated for chronic toxicity
Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity: Not classified based on available data; long-term risk remains under investigation
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms when released in large quantities
Persistence/Degradability: Ionic liquids generally show low biodegradability in the environment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Potential for accumulation in aquatic or soil systems requires environmental management
Mobility in Soil: Limited mobility due to hydrophobic alkyl chain and ionic character
Additional Information: Limit environmental discharge. Monitor for regulatory updates as research into ecological impact continues.
