Iron-Based Ionic Liquids for Mars: Thermal and Spectroscopic Characterization

Experimental data for four iron-based ionic liquids under Martian surface conditions. Thermal characterization includes differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis under neat, CO₂-saturated, and nanoconfined conditions. Spectroscopic data include ATR-FTIR and confocal Raman spectra, with companion code for analyzing Mars atmospheric warming events and screening SuperCam Raman spectra from the Perseverance rover.

Use Cases

• Modeling the persistence of liquid solvents on Mars based on glass transition temperature data.
• Screening Perseverance rover SuperCam Raman spectra against laboratory reference spectra.
• Estimating the CO₂ inventory potential of pore-hosted ionic liquids in the Martian regolith.
• Analyzing the thermal stability of ionic liquids under CO₂-saturated and nanoconfined conditions.

Strengths

• Includes data for four distinct iron-based ionic liquid compounds.
• Thermal data covers three specific environmental conditions: neat, CO₂-saturated, and CO₂-saturated with SBA-15 nanoconfinement.
• Companion Python scripts extend published Mars atmospheric warming event analysis and provide a CO₂ inventory estimation model.
• Linked pipeline screens a calibrated subset of 1,436 SuperCam Raman shots from the Perseverance rover.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
