Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), a captivating subclass of ionic liquids, have recently piqued the interest of many researchers and industrialists, owing to their vast gamut of multifaceted applications. DESs are a unique combination of two or more compounds, consisting of a hydrogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor, as shown in Fig. 1 [1 ...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a tunable class of solvents with many advantageous properties including good thermal stability, facile synthesis, low vapor pressure, and low-to-negligible toxicity. DESs are composed of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors that, when combined, significantly decrease the freezing point of the resulting solvent.

Deep eutectic solvents or DESs are solutions of Lewis or Brønsted acids and bases which form a eutectic mixture. [1] Deep eutectic solvents are highly tunable through varying the structure or relative ratio of parent components and thus have a wide variety of potential applications including catalytic, separation, and electrochemical processes.

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are an emerging class of mixtures characterized by significant depressions in melting points compared to those of the neat constituent components. These materials are promising for applications as inexpensive “designer” solvents exhibiting a host of tunable physicochemical properties.

The structural properties of two different deep eutectic solvents (DESs), namely a 1:2 mixture of choline chloride and urea and a 1:2 mixture of butyltrimethylammonium chloride and urea, have been investigated by means of Molecular Dynamics simulations.
