Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a detrimental greenhouse gas and is the main contributor to global warming. In addressing this environmental challenge, a promising approach emerges through the utilization of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as an ecofriendly and sustainable medium for effective CO2 capture. Chemically reactive DESs, which form chemical bonds with the CO2, are superior to nonreactive, physically based DESs for CO2 absorption. However, there are no accurate computational models that provide accurate predictions of the CO2 solubility in chemically reactive DESs. Here, we develop machine learning (ML) models to predict the solubility of CO2 in chemically reactive DESs. As training data, we collected 214 data points for the CO2 solubility in 149 different chemically reactive DESs at different temperatures, pressures, and DES molar ratios from published work. The physics-driven input features for the ML models include σ-profile descriptors that quantify the relative probability of a molecular surface segment having a certain screening charge density and were calculated with the first-principle quantum chemical method COSMO-RS. We show here that, although COSMO-RS does not explicitly calculate chemical reaction profiles, the COSMO-RS-derived σ-profile features can be used to predict bond formation. Of the models trained, an artificial neural network (ANN) provides the most accurate CO2 solubility prediction with an average absolute relative deviation of 2.94% on the testing sets. Overall, this work provides ML models that can predict CO2 solubility precisely and thus accelerate the design and application of chemically reactive DESs.

Abstract
An equilibrium acidity (pKa) scale that comprises 16 Brönsted organic acids, including phenols, carboxylic acids, azoles, and phenylmalononitriles, was established in a choline chloride/EG-based deep eutectic solvent (DES) ([Ch][Cl]:2EG) by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopic methods. The established acidity scale spans about 6 pK units in the DES, which is similar to that for these acids in water. The acidity comparisons and linear correlations between the DES and other solvents show that the solvent property of [Ch][Cl]:2EG is quite different from those of amphiphilic protic and dipolar aprotic molecular solvents. The carbon dioxide absorption capabilities as well as apparent absorption kinetics for a series of anion-functionalized DESs ([Ch][X]:2EG) were measured, and the results show that the basicity of comprising anion [X] of choline salt is essential for the maximum carbon dioxide absorption capacity, i.e., a stronger basicity leads to a greater absorption capacity. The possible absorption mechanisms for carbon dioxide absorption in these DESs were also discussed based on the spectroscopic evidence.

Abstract
In recent years, the chemical industry has put emphasis on designing or modifying chemical processes that would increasingly meet the requirements of the adopted proecological sustainable development strategy and the principles of green chemistry. The development of cyclic carbonate synthesis from CO2 and epoxides undoubtedly follows this trend. First, it represents a significant improvement over the older glycol phosgenation method. Second, it uses renewable and naturally abundant carbon dioxide as a raw material. Third, the process is most often solvent-free. However, due to the low reactivity of carbon dioxide, the process of synthesising cyclic carbonates requires the use of a catalyst. The efforts of researchers are mainly focused on the search for new, effective catalysts that will enable this reaction to be carried out under mild conditions with high efficiency and selectivity. Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have become the subject of interest as potential effective, cheap, and biodegradable catalysts for this process. The work presents an up-to-date overview of the method of cyclic carbonate synthesis from CO2 and epoxides with the use of DES as catalysts.

Abstract
CO2 capture is essential for both mitigating CO2 emissions and purifying/conditioning gases for fuel and chemical production. To further improve the process performance with low environmental impacts, different strategies have been proposed, where developing liquid green absorbent for capturing CO2 is one of the effective options. Ionic liquids (IL)/deep eutectic solvents (DES) have recently emerged as green absorbents with unique properties, especially DESs also benefit from facile synthesis, low toxicity, and high biodegradability. To promote their development, this work summarized the recent research progress on ILs/DESs developed for CO2 capture from the aspects of those physical- and chemical-based, and COSMO-RS was combined to predict the properties that are unavailable from published articles in order to evaluate their performance based on the key properties for different IL/DES-based technologies. Finally, top 10 ILs/DESs were listed based on the corresponding criteria. The shared information will provide insight into screening and further developing IL/DES-based technologies for CO2 capture.

Abstract
High volatility would lead to a highly flammable hazard, explosion danger, low regeneration efficiency and air pollution. Eutectic solvents (ESs) are assumed to be nonvolatile; however, the assumption is not correct. Here, we, for the first time, find that superbase-derived ESs are highly volatile. Even at room temperature (i.e., 25 °C) and atmospheric pressure, the mass loss of ESs could reach as high as 43.5% after 20 h of exposure. Superbase-derived ESs are promising solvents for CO2 capture, and they are also highly volatile after CO2 capture. We found that typical ethylene glycol : 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (EG : DBU (4 : 1)) has a three-stage volatilizing mechanism. EG and DBU volatilize first by breaking weak hydrogen-bonding interactions (1st stage), followed by the destruction of strong hydrogen-bonding interactions (2nd stage), and finally by destroying much stronger hydrogen-bonding interactions (3rd stage). This work presents a new horizon that ESs and their mixture with CO2 are highly volatile, which is helpful for mitigating laboratory explosion, combustion hazards, air pollution and designing new types of ESs with negligible volatility.

Abstract
CO2, the main greenhouse gas, has received considerable attention due to environmental issues. From a scientific perspective, CO2 as a cheap and abundant carbon source, could be applied in synthesizing more valuable chemicals such as urea, formic acid, and cyclic carbonates. However, the high bond energy of C[double bond, length as m-dash]O (750 kJ mol-1) and the non-polarity property make CO2 molecules difficult to activate. In this paper, we have carefully designed a low-cost, stable and, most importantly, highly efficient Co-based heterocatalyst Co@N x C functionalized by nitrogen-doped carbon to activate CO2 molecules and convert it into cyclic carbonates. The CO2 conversion process could be triggered at very mild conditions (60 °C and 1 bar CO2). We carefully adjusted the nitrogen content in the carbon support to enhance the catalytic performance of Co centers via the interface effect. Consequently, the optimal catalyst displayed extraordinary activity toward the cycloaddition of CO2 with styrene oxide as high conversion (92%) and selectivity (>99%) were achieved in 4 h without byproducts.

Deep Eutectic Solvents as Convenient Media for Synthesis of Novel Coumarinyl Schiff Bases and Their QSAR Studies. Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22091482.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents, as green and environmentally friendly media, were utilized in the synthesis of novel coumarinyl Schiff bases. Novel derivatives were synthesized from 2-((4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy)acetohydrazide and corresponding aldehyde in choline chloride:malonic acid (1:1) based deep eutectic solvent. In these reactions, deep eutectic solvent acted as a solvent and catalyst as well. Novel Schiff bases were synthesized in high yields (65–75%) with no need for further purification, and their structures were confirmed by mass spectra, 1H and 13C NMR. Furthermore, their antioxidant activity was determined and compared to antioxidant activity of previously synthesized derivatives, thus investigating their structure–activity relationship utilizing quantitative structure-activity relationship QSAR studies. Calculation of molecular descriptors has been performed by DRAGON software. The best QSAR model (Rtr = 0.636; Rext = 0.709) obtained with three descriptors (MATS3m, Mor22u, Hy) implies that the pairs of atoms higher mass at the path length 3, three-dimensional arrangement of atoms at scattering parameter s = 21 Å−1, and higher number of hydrophilic groups (-OH, -NH) enhanced antioxidant activity. Electrostatic potential surface of the most active compounds showed possible regions for donation of electrons to 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals.
