Abstract
We use the Flory-Huggins theory to demonstrate conditions of extra solvent power of ionic liquids. The short-range interactions between anions, cations, and molecules of the solute are taken into account. We find that solvent power of the ionic liquids is enhanced if non-Coulomb interactions between the anions and cations are repulsive. The mechanism responsible for the extra solvent power is related to the "shielding" of the anion-cation interactions by the molecules of the solute.Keywords
