, of organic compounds in two new room-temperature ionic liquids(
n-methacryloyloxyhexyl-
N-methylimidazolium bromide (C

17O
2MIM)(Br) at 313.15 and 323.15 K and
n-acryloyloxypropyl-
N-methylimidazolium bromide(C

11O
2MIM)(Br)) were determined using inverse gaschromatography. Phase loading studies of the net retention volume per gram of packing as a function ofthe percent phase loading were used to estimate the influence of concurrent retention mechanisms onthe accuracy of activity coefficients at infinite dilution of solutes in both ionic liquids. It was found that mostof the solutes were retained largely by partition with a small contribution from adsorption and that
n-alkanes were retained predominantly by interfacial adsorption on ionic liquids studied in this work. Thesolvation characteristics of the two ionic liquids were evaluated using the Abraham solvation parametermodel.
