It is essential to understand the interaction energy between water and ionic liquids (ILs) in search of ILs for dehumidification applications. In this paper, the intermolecular interaction energy between water and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([EMIM])-based ILs was investigated. The vapor-liquid equilibrium data were first measured for solutions of [EMIM][BF4], [EMIM][N(CN)2], [EMIM][CF3SO3], and [EMIM][CH3SO3] with water molar fractions of 8–95 % at temperatures of 303–343 K. The IL-IL and water-IL intermolecular interaction energies were determined by using the correlated non-random two-liquid model. The results revealed that fluorine atoms in anions reduce the attraction energy between IL and water, and thus, decrease the water affinity.
