Abstract
The simplicity and versatility of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES), together with a wide range of potential applications, make them great candidates to fight the lack of sustainability and circularity in large-scale industrial chemistry. Among the most prominent applications of NADES, extraction of phenolic compounds (PC) from natural sources remains one of the most attractive ones, due to the high commercial value of both, solvent and solute. In the present study, an in-depth analysis of the underlying mechanisms of extraction in NADES-PC systems is performed via quantification of the spin-spin interactions using 2D NMR experiments. The structure of the hydrogen bond donor, acceptor-to-donor molecular ratio, or number and distribution of the hydroxyl groups are determined as key components governing the solubility of PC in NADES. Moreover, our results reveal how studying the solvent hydrogen bond network formation between the NADES acceptor and donors can be easily translatable into understanding the solvation patterns and predicting the solubility efficiency of PC at low concentrations, below the level of direct detection.
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.
