Deep eutectic solvents: syntheses, properties and applications

摘要: Within the framework of green chemistry, solvents occupy a strategic place. To be qualified as medium, these have to meet different criteria such availability, non-toxicity, biodegradability, recyclability, flammability, and low price among others. Up now, number available are rather limited. Here we wish discuss new family ionic fluids, so-called Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES), that now rapidly emerging in current literature. A DES is fluid generally composed two or three cheap safe components capable self-association, often through hydrogen bond interactions, form eutectic mixture with melting point lower than each individual component. DESs liquid at temperatures 100 °C. These exhibit similar physico-chemical properties traditionally used liquids, while being much cheaper environmentally friendlier. Owing remarkable advantages, growing interest many fields research. In this review, report major contributions catalysis, organic synthesis, dissolution extraction processes, electrochemistry material chemistry. All works discussed review aim demonstrating not only allow design eco-efficient processes but also open straightforward access chemicals materials.
