Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), as a novel class of green solvents, were successfully applied as eco-friendly and sustainable reaction media for fast surface modification of spherical porous silica, resulting in stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography. The new reaction media were advantageous over organic solvents in many aspects, such as the high dispersibility of silica sp...

DNA (Salmon testes) was functionalized by Fe3O4 nanoparticles and protonated layered dititanate sheets (H2·Ti2O5·H2O) in a mixture of choline chloride and ethylene glycol (a deep eutectic solvent) to yield a hybrid material having magnetic and antibacterial properties. Ti sheets were found to interact with the phosphate moieties, while Fe interacted with the base pair of DNA in the hybrid mater...

A Ser105Ala mutant of the lipase B from Candida antarctica enables 'perhydrolase-only' reactions. At the example of the chemoenzymatic Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone, we demonstrate that with this mutant selective oxidation can be achieved in deep eutectic solvent while essentially eliminating the undesired hydrolysis reaction of the product.

The recent advances in asymmetric organocatalysis using eutectic mixtures as a reaction medium are revised this mini-review. In addition, the first enantioselective transformations chiral solvents, which play role of green and organocatalyst, described. minireview we intend to deepen not only synthetic aspects mixtures, but also fundamental issues that seem be essential for successful developme...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are formed by a hydrogen bond donor and an acceptor. The interactions between these two components significantly depress the melting temperature of mixture. DESs have been used as alternative for organic in various branches chemical industry. Many very hygroscopic water is known to change properties DESs, but there has neven systematic study performed on deliquesen...

Pt triambic icosahedral nanocrystals (TIH NCs) enclosed by {771} high-index facets were successfully synthesized electrochemically, for the first time, in ChCl-urea based deep eutectic solvents, and exhibited higher electrocatalytic activity and stability towards ethanol electrooxidation than a commercial Pt black catalyst.
