RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Nature of a Tetrabutylammonium Chloride–Levulinic Acid Deep Eutectic Solvent A1 Gutiérrez Vega, Alberto A1 Rozas Azcona, Sara A1 Zamora Pastor, Lorena A1 Benito, Cristina A1 Atilhan, Mert A1 Aparicio Martínez, Santiago K1 Química física K1 Chemistry, Physical and theoretical AB A deep eutectic solvent was formed by considering the mixtures of tetrabutylammonium chloride and levulinic acid, and it is studied via a combined theoretical and experimental approach. Physicochemical properties were measured as a function of temperature, providing a macroscopic characterization of the fluid. Quantum chemistry and classical molecular dynamics simulations were carried out for the nanoscopic characterization, providing attention to the nature, extension, and dynamics of the hydrogen bonding network, which is at the root of the properties of the fluid. The reported study allows multiscale characterization of this fluid as an archetypical example of a natural, low-cost, and sustainable fluid.
