This work is on the synthesis and the characterization of natural deep eutectic solvents based on monoterpenoids. Low viscous fluids with suitable physicochemical properties are produced. Therefore, considering their null toxicity, biodegradability, and low cost make them a suitable platform for developing sustainable solvents for various processes...
Article
Type V natural deep eutectic solvents considering menthol, thymol, and levulinic acids are studied considering a combined experimental and theoretical approach to develop a multiscale characterization of these fluids with particular attention to intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) and their relationships with macroscopic behavior. Density, vis...
Article
Type V natural deep eutectic solvents based on monoterpenoids (cineole, carvone, menthol, and thymol) are studied using a combined experimental and molecular modeling approach. The reported physicochemical properties showed low viscous fluids whose properties were characterized as a function of temperature. The theoretical study combining quantum c...

... Some HBDs of 1,2-propanediol and urea established a strong intermolecular account for the extraction efficiency. The designable mixtures of HBAs and HBDs resulted in different features of DESs [34]. A new liquid phase can be produced from hydrogen bonding based on a eutectic mixture and self-associate originating from HBAs and HBDs. ...
... The preparation procedures for MEN (CAS: 2216-51-5): THY (CAS: 89-83-8) 1: 1 were described in a previous work by our research group [38]. Samples were prepared gravimetrically by weighing (Mettler AT261 balance, 1•10 -5 g) suitable amounts of pure components obtained from commercial sources of MEN and THY (Merck, purity 99.6 mass%). ...
... The first step of this study was a screening on differently structured molecules in order to find possible novel water-based Deep Eutectic Solvents. The set of tested molecules are already reported in literature to be capable to form hydrophobic and hydrophilic DESs both with HBD and HBA roles [46,[57][58][59][60]. Glycolic Acid, Trimethylglicine, L-Menthol, Phenylacetic Acid, S-Mandelic Acid, Oxalic Acid dihydrate, Sorbic Acid, R-Carvone, L-Proline, L-Histidine, L-Tyrosine and Benzoic Acid were mixed with water in molar ratios spanning from 7/1 to 1/7. ...
