Abstract
Molar enthalpies of mixing (HE) were measured for the following deep eutectic solvents (DESs): {choline chloride + glycerol}, {choline chloride + ethylene glycol}, {tetrabutylammonium chloride + glycerol}, and {tetrabutylammonium chloride + ethylene glycol} at 323.15 K and molar ratios of 1:4, 1:3, 1:2 and 1:1. Results show that all systems are endothermic, with HE values ranging from 1.90 to 5.35 kJ·mol–1. Results indicate that the intermolecular interactions between the molecules of the pure components are stronger than those of the DESs complexes. To shed some light on the mutual interactions between the molecules within the mixtures, effects of the hydrogen bond acceptor structure (HBA), hydrogen bond donor structure (HBD), and concentration (HBA:HBD molar ratio) were analyzed. The nature of the HBA salt is the most important: choline chloride-based systems required almost twice as much energy as tetrabutylammonium chloride-based systems in order to form the DES mixture, most likely because of a highe...
