Abstract: This article is a product of IUPAC Project 2002-005-1-100 (Thermodynamics of ionic liquids, ionic liquid mixtures, and the development of standardized systems). Experimental results of thermodynamic, transport, and phase equilibrium studies made on a reference sample of the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]amide are summarized, compared, and critically evaluated to provide recommended values with uncertainties for the properties measured. Properties measured included thermal properties (triple-point temperature, glass-transition temperature, enthalpy of fusion, heat capacities of condensed states), volumetric properties, speeds of sound, viscosities, electrolytic conductivities, relative permittivities, as well as properties for mixtures, such as gas solubilities (solubility pressures), solute activity coefficients at infinite dilution, and liquid-liquid equilibrium temperatures. Recommended values with uncertainties are provided for the properties studied experimentally. The effect of the presence of water on the property values is discussed.
