β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), as an important pseudo-stationary phase (PSP) in capillary electrophoresis (CE), frequently confronts challenges stemming from its limited water solubility, particularly when high concentrations are required for resolving complex analytes. Traditionally, researchers often resort to the use of (toxic) organic solvents to enhance the solubility of β-CD, establishing non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) for specific separations. However, such practices are hazardous to health and run counter to the principles of green analytical chemistry. In this study, we demonstrate a deep eutectic solvent (DES), Proline:Urea (PU), as a promising alternative to conventional organic solvents for β-CD-based CE separations. The DES exhibits a solubility of up to 30% for β-CD, a significant improvement compared to the 1.8% solubility in the aqueous phase. Utilizing this DES-type separation medium, we achieved simultaneous baseline separation of a complex analyte composed of eight structurally similar naphthoic acid derivatives. Furthermore, we conducted a systematic comparison of β-CD's performance in aqueous CE buffers, organic solvents, and DESs, highlighting the superiority of this novel and environmentally friendly CE separation medium.

Porous liquids (PLs) are an exciting new class of materials for carbon capture due to their high gas adsorption capacity and ease of industrial implementation. They are composed of sorbent particles suspended in a nonadsorbed solvent, forming a liquid with permanent porosity. While PLs have a vast number of potential compositions based on the number of solvents and sorbent materials available, most of the research has been focused on the selection of the sorbent rather than the solvent.

Liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM) is a powerful technique for investigating crystallisation dynamics with nanometre spatial resolution. However, probing phenomena occurring in liquids while mixing two precursor solutions has proven extremely challenging, requiring sophisticated liquid cell designs. Here, we demonstrate that introducing and withdrawing solvents in sequence makes it possible to maintain optimal imaging conditions while mixing liquids in a commercial liquid cell.

An overcrowded ethylene composed of electron-donating anion, naphthoxide, and electron-accepting cation, acridinium, has been synthesized. It is in equilibrium between a folded conformer having a smaller permanent dipole moment with visible light absorption and a twisted conformer having a larger permanent dipole moment with NIR light absorption. The overcrowded ethylene shows multiple NIR chromisms, such as solvatochromism, thermochromism, mechanochromism, vapochromism, halochromism, and amphoteric electrochromisms, which are caused by the conformational change between folded and twisted conformers or by controlling the energy difference between the HOMO of the donor moiety and the LUMO of the acceptor moiety.

Background: Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a highly versatile separation technique widely used in analytical chemistry. Traditionally, CE can be categorized as either aqueous or non-aqueous systems based on the buffer solvents employed. For decades, non-aqueous CE has been predominantly associated with the use of organic solvents, a perception deeply ingrained in the scientific community.

Lignin, a biomass-derived material containing chromophores, possesses the potential to serve as a versatile organic ultraviolet (UV) light screening agent. By employing quantum chemical computation techniques, an amphoteric deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on sulfamic acid was purposefully designed and engineered to create a solvent system tailored for the nanoparticle formation and functionalization of lignin. As confirmed by experimental evidence, the size of the modified lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) varies from 168.
