Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been used for the
purification of oils and the extraction of active
ingredients from natural products but little is known about
the mechanism of the extraction process. In
this study a variety of molecular solutes are dissolved in
alkanes and the thermodynamics of transfer into
six DESs have been quantified. It is shown that the transfer
of most solutes into the DES is endothermic
and driven by entropy. The largest partition coefficients were
demonstrated by the liquids with the
lowest surface tensions and this is thought to arise because
the enthalpy of hole formation controls the
rate of solute transfer. Accordingly, it was shown that the
size of the solute has an effect on the partition
coefficient with smaller solutes partitioning preferably into
the DES. As expected, solutes capable
of
strongly hydrogen bonding partitioned much better into the
DES as the enthalpy of transfer was
negative
