Therefore, in this work, the solubility of 2′,4′-Dichloro-5′-fluoroacetophenone was measured by dynamic method in eight different solvents and range from 273.15 K to 288.15 K.

Consequently, comprehensive experimental physicochemical characterization, explicitly focusing on density data complemented by computational tools, is imperative. In pursuit of this objective, the present study explores the density behavior, both experimentally and computationally, of three iodide-based ionic liquids under high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions. Here, it was studied the alkyl chain impact on density for 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ([C<sub>3</sub>C<sub>1</sub>Im][I]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ([C<sub>4</sub>C<sub>1</sub>Im][I]), and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ([C<sub>6</sub>C<sub>1</sub>Im][I]) ILs.
