Chemists aim to meet modern sustainability, health, and safety requirements by replacing conventional solvents with deep eutectic (DESs). Through large melting point depressions, DESs may incorporate renewable solids in task-specific liquids. Yet, DES design is complicated complex molecular interactions a lack of comprehensive property databases. Even measuring pure component properties can be challenging, due decomposition before melting. Here we overcame the quintessential constituent,...
