Abstract

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as an innovative, unique, and exciting class of liquid media that could replace traditional organic solvents. Due to physicochemical interactions that produce less-than-ideal behavior in the liquid phase, these solvents have far lower melting temperatures than their pure compounds. DESs comprise hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs) and hydrogen bond donors (HBDs), where the physicochemical properties of DESs can be tailored by selecting combinations of distinct HBAs and HBDs.
The aim of this study was to find the eutectic point of DES obtained by choline chloride (HBA) and sorbitol or isomalt as HBDs; predict the solubility of ibuprofen in them using in silico model of COSMO-RS.
