摘要

The potential deep eutectic solvents (DESs) for cellulose dissolution and regeneration must be hydrogen-bond basic DESs that satisfy the criterion of Δ

Abstract

According to the Kamlet-Abraham-Taft (KAT) polarity parameters (

)

polymers and solvents can be categorized as hydrogen-bond (H-bond) acidic (

) or H-bond basic (

). Recently

we proposed a quantitative hydrogen bonding (QHB) analysis to predict the solubility of polymers in ionic liquids (ILs) using the product of Δ

0 as an indicator

where Δ

is the difference between the H-bond acidic parameters of the polymer and IL

and Δ

is the difference in their basicity

while the prerequisite of the “complementary” principle (

i.e.

that one component is H-bond acidic and the other is basic) is satisfied. Here

the applicability of QHB analysis was first confirmed by testing the solubilities of carefully chosen polymer/deep eutectic solvent (DES) pairs

as the DESs were eutectic mixtures dominated by hydrogen bonding interactions. Then

our attention focused on the solubility of cellulose in DESs. Our testing results as well as the typical published results were summarized

which indicate that the potential DESs for cellulose dissolution and regeneration must be of the H-bond basic type because the “complementary” principle should be satisfied as a prerequisite. However

the H-bond basic DESs investigated in this study do not show the superior solubility of cellulose that has been commonly observed for H-bond basic ILs

even if the criterion of Δ

0 is satisfied for both DESs and ILs. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are given to understand the varying effectiveness in cellulose dissolution for H-bond basic DESs and ILs.
