Abstract
Authors report an exhaustive literature survey conducted to collect an extensive set of liquid viscosity data for ionic liquids (ILs).  They have collated a data set consisting of 1672 viscosity values and comprising 443 ILs from 204 different literature sources.
Using the data set, they develop a reliable group contribution method. The method employs a total of 46 sub-structures in addition to the temperature to predict the viscosity of ILs.
