Synthesis and characterization of novel ternary deep eutectic solvents (original) (raw)

This paper presents the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of novel room-temperature ternary deep eutectic solvents (TDESs) made from imidazolium halides, zinc halides, and amides. The effects of ionic species size and interactions on the physical properties such as freezing point, density, viscosity, and electrical conductivity of TDESs were systematically investigated. Results indicate that TDESs exhibit lower freezing points compared to conventional deep eutectic solvents, suggesting their potential as green solvents and catalysts in organic reactions.
