The structure, thermophysical and electrochemical properties of copper ionic liquid analogous compared with choline chloride (ChCl)-urea is reported. The structure of the ionic liquid analogous is preliminarily investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The physical properties of the ionic liquid such as density, speed of sound refractive index, electrical conductivity, molar conductivity were measured as the function of temperature and composition. We used the following compositions: ChCl-Urea (1:2)M, ChCl-Urea-CuCl (1:2:0.05)M , ChCl-Urea-CuCl (1:2:0.1)M and ChCl-Urea-CuCl2 (1:2:0.1)M . Using the measured data of density, speed of sound, and refractive index, the following thermodynamical parameters such as isentropic or adiabatic compressibility coefficient and molar refractivity have been computed with the standard relations. Calculated values of the acoustic impedance adiabatic compressibility, space filling factor , specific refraction and relaxation strength at various temperatures were calculated for the studied ionic liquids. Also were determined the coefficients of thermal expansion, molecular volume, standard entropy and lattice energy at different temperatures. Fitting parameters, correlation coefficient R2 obtained for density, the speed of sound and refractive index along with the absolute average percentage deviation AAD % are reported for all studied LIs. Calculated values of refractive index for the studied ionic liquids, using the relation between refractive index and density, were also correlated from several empirical equations. The electrical conductivity and correlations for its temperature dependence were established and discussed in terms of Arrhenius theory. The electrochemical potential window of ChCl-urea and the electrochemical behaviour of ChCl-urea-CuCl/CuCl2 were also determined by cyclic voltammetry.
