Abstract:
We report on the rotational diffusion dynamics of three chromophores (disodium fluorescein, oxazine 725, and perylene) in a series of choline chloride-ethylene glycol (ChCl:EG) deep eutectic solvent (DES) systems. We observe behavior independent of DES bulk viscosity for the cationic and neutral probes and behavior that is consistent with stick-limit interactions for the modified Debye-Stokes-Einstein model for the anionic probe. This finding indicates that the anionic species is integral to the interactions between DES constituent species that are responsible for local organization, consistent with previous MD simulations that showed higher interaction energies associated with both the hydrogen bond donor (EG) and hydrogen bond acceptor (Ch+) interactions with Cl- in ChCl:EG mixtures. The reorientation data reported here also indicate a region around 15 mol % ChCl where the stoichiometric relationship between the species gives rise to changes in the details of intermolecular interactions.
