Figure 1. Experimental vapour pressures p sat(T) at liquid–vapour coexistence of non-ionic liquids (NILs), room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) and inorganic fused salts (IFSs) as a function of temperature T for the non-polar liquid benzene (C6H6, see [2]), the hydrogen bond forming liquid water (H2O, see [2]), the paradigmatic RTILs [C4mim][dca], [C2mim][NTf2] and [C8mim][NTf2] (see [7,13]), as well as fused cadmium chloride (CdCl2) and sodium chloride (NaCl) as examples of IFSs (see [14]). At low temperatures all curves terminate at the corresponding triple point temperature T 3 (see Tables 1–3), which is close to the standard melting temperature of that substance. At high temperatures the boiling curves for the RTILs terminate at the decomposition temperature T d, whereas the boiling curves of the other liquids end at their critical points (see Tables 1–3). Room temperature T 0 = 298 K and ambient pressure p 0 = 105 Pa are indicated.
