In this work, a statistical analysis was performed to reveal how the molecular properties are correlated with the nonideal behavior observed in eutectic mixtures. From this, a statistical model, combined with theory and experimental results, was developed to predict the nonideal behavior of a specific set of eutectic mixtures, consisting of quaternary ammonium bromides with dicarboxylic acids and polyols. The combination of this analysis and this model can be considered as a first step toward the design of eutectic mixtures.
