In this study, one such compound, methyltrioctylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate <span></span><math></math> ionic liquid (IL), was analyzed experimentally and theoretically. The COSMO-RS, a type of conductor-like screening model, is an advanced fast method to predict the thermo-physical properties of IL.

The COSMO-RS, not dependent on data, coefficients, or parameters, was used to calculate the sigma surface, profile, and potential. These parameters are crucial for predicting high-absorbing CO<sub>2</sub> materials, such as ILILs. Spectroscopic methods, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (<sup>1</sup>H NMR), and carbon-13 NMR (<sup>13</sup>C NMR), verified the structure confirmation. In addition, spectrochemical characterization of the IL was performed using FTIR, NMR, ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, and fluorescence. The thermal integrity of IL was measured by thermogravimetric–differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA) over the temperature range of 323–773 K in an oxygen ambiance with a ramp rate of 283 K/min.
