Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have received substantial applications and development in the field of green chemistry during the last decade. Using computational density functional theory (DFT), DESs composed of Choline Chloride (ChCl), as the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), and six carboxylic acids (CA) including Glycolic acid (Gly), Glutaric acid (Glu), Oxalic acid (Oxa), Lactic acid (La), Itaconic acid (Ita), and Levulinic acid (Lev), as the hydrogen bond donner (HBD), were investigated. Geometry optimization and vibrational frequency assignment were performed by applying three DFT functionals, i.e., B3LYP-D3(BJ), M06-2X, and ωB97XD in combination with Pople’s 6-311+g(d,p) basis set. Then, using of the QTAIM, NBO, and the NCI analyses, different sorts of interactions have been evaluated to indicate the most stable structure between ChCl and various CAs, and the hydrogen bonding in the studied DESs. The results confirm that the Cl ion in choline chloride created a strong hydrogen-bond with HBDs, and the mixed ionic-covalent interaction is the main interaction in construction of the DESs of ChCl with the studied carboxylic acids.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
