ChemComm Journal, one of the Royal Society's Flagship journals, celebrated 60 years of publications and has an online collection highlighting 60 pioneering historic papers. The paper 'Novel solvent properties of choline chloride/urea mixtures' (DOI: 10.1039/B210714G) has been selected for this collection. It was the first example of a deep eutectic solvent - a topic which has now spawned over 63,000 papers.
The now famous “two solids make a liquid” concept has found application in natural product extraction, pharmaceutical formulation, metal plating, electropolishing, metal extraction and catalysis to name just a few.
We're very proud to have a paper in the Chem Comm collection and it can be found at: pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/articlecollectionlanding?sercode=cc&themeid=facf531e-7eaf-490f-90ff-5f7e95b81019.
