Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are modified versions of ionic liquids (ILs) and are formed by the fusion of polar components (liquids or solids) via hydrogen bonding interactions. DESs are prepared by the simple mixing of two or three cheap constituents (that are capable of self-association) with gentle heating, which leads to a drastic decrease in their melting points. The resultant clear homogeneous mixture consists of cations, anions, as well as neutral molecules; this will contribute both ionic and molecular solvent properties to the DESs. DESs have emerged as alternatives to conventional organic solvents and ILs, which meet different criteria such as availability, low cost, low toxicity, biodegradability, recyclability, ease of preparation method, tunable, and designer physiochemical properties. Many of them have attracted considerable attention and haave been applied in distinct fields of chemistry. To summarize the full-scale development of DESs, this review discusses the history, classifications, various methods of preparation, properties, and some major applications in catalysis in the last three years. This review is expected to be helpful for the further development of DESs based on a summary of the fundamental research in the field.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) based on metal halide salts are highly catalytic, low toxic, reusable, cost-effective, and have higher thermal stability than their analogue ionic liquids (ILs). In this work, we have reported the formation mechanism of metal salt-based DESs at the molecular level along with their charge-transfer analysis and thermodynamics associated with their formation using density functional theory. The DES systems analyzed in the present work were choline chloride and tin(II)chloride (DES1) and choline chloride and zinc(II)chloride (DES2), both in a molar ratio of 1:2, respectively. An excellent correlation is obtained between the theoretically calculated IR spectra of the DES systems and the previously reported experimental findings for the formation of the complex systems. The DESs were found to be stable systems due to traditional hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions resulting in the ionic species [Sn2Cl5]- and [Zn2Cl5]- and are elucidated with the help of electronic structure calculations. CHELPG partial charge analysis and natural bond orbital analysis suggest a charge transfer from Cl- (chloride) to Ch+ (choline) and metal salts in the DES structures. The atom-in-molecules and noncovalent interaction (NCI) analysis suggest a strong electrostatic interaction within the DES2 system as compared to DES1. Higher stability and reactivity are observed in the DES2 system based on the frontier molecular orbital analysis. Our analysis offers important insights into the formation mechanism of these economic IL analogues.

Abstract
The ceaseless increase of pollution cases due to the tremendous consumption of fossil fuels has steered the world towards an environmental crisis and necessitated urgency to curtail noxious sulfur oxide emissions. Since the world is moving toward green chemistry, a fuel desulfurization process driven by clean technology is of paramount significance in the field of environmental remediation. Among the novel desulfurization techniques, the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process has been intensively studied and is highlighted as the rising star to effectuate sulfur-free fuels due to its mild reaction conditions and remarkable desulfurization performances in the past decade. This critical review emphasizes the latest advances in thermal catalytic ODS and photocatalytic ODS related to the design and synthesis routes of myriad materials. This encompasses the engineering of metal oxides, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, polyoxometalates, metal-organic frameworks, metal-free materials and their hybrids in the customization of advantageous properties in terms of morphology, topography, composition and electronic states. The essential connection between catalyst characteristics and performances in ODS will be critically discussed along with corresponding reaction mechanisms to provide thorough insight for shaping future research directions. The impacts of oxidant type, solvent type, temperature and other pivotal factors on the effectiveness of ODS are outlined. Finally, a summary of confronted challenges and future outlooks in the journey to ODS application is presented.

Abstract
Oxidative-denitrogenation (ODN) of indole (IND) and methyl-substituted INDs (methyl-INDs), representative neutral nitrogen-containing compounds (NCCs), was carried out with TiO2@C and H2O2 as heterogeneous catalyst and oxidant, respectively, under ultrasound irradiation. The oxidation of INDs progressed through radical formation, as evidenced by electron spin resonance and radical scavenger experiments. The oxidized position of INDs in the ODN process was checked via characterization of the obtained products. It was observed that the oxidation finally occurred on the carbon rather than on the nitrogen atom of INDs, unlike the oxidation of basic NCCs (e.g., oxidation on the nitrogen atom, as respective N-oxides were formed) and sulfur-containing compounds. To understand the relative reactivity and oxidation position, electron density (ED) on the nitrogen atom of the studied INDs and relative stability of representative intermediates/products were calculated. It could be confirmed that ED on the nitrogen atom of the INDs is very important in the oxidation of INDs since the ODN reactivity of INDs was enhanced with increasing ED on the nitrogen atom of the investigated INDs. Moreover, theoretical analyses of the relative stability of substrate and intermediates/products (especially for IND) can explain the route for the observed final products in ODN. In other words, oxygen on the nitrogen atom, obtained via the first step of oxidation (electrophilic addition of an active oxygen atom on nitrogen), moves to the nearby carbon atom, because of the relative stability of the intermediates and products.
