Talk:Deep eutectic solvent

Seems to me like a duplicate of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_eutectic_solvent ... - as the "natural" des simply seem to be DES with natural compounds - and just a name created by the authors of the linked articles. There is also THEDES - http://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/handle/1822/38328 - because another author said so...

This article is a duplicate to me with no information that the main article does not cover. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.70.170.201 (talk) 11:46, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose to merge Natural deep eutectic solvents into Deep eutectic solvent. Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are a special type of deep eutectic solvent, where NADES are made up specific compounds (amino acids, organic acids, sugars, or choline derivatives) see: https://doi.org/10.1021/sc500096j. I think the DES article can have a section on NADES. I have never done a merge before, but this does not seem like it would be controversial and the first step listed at WP:MERGEINIT is to start the discussion, so here goes.DaffodilOcean (talk) 23:45, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I just put the merge flags on the two pages, with the links to discuss the merger here.--DaffodilOcean (talk) 18:40, 26 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Support. Seems pretty clear that the natural type can be discussed in a section at the parent article. No need for a separate article (yet anyway).

Why / How ?
I would have liked to see an explanation about the reason behind these unusual features. Why can you mix to stuffs and get a stuff with a much lower melting point than either of the starting stuffs? How does this work? What is going on? Joreberg (talk) 15:22, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
