Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) formed by mixing zwitterionic hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs) with diol- and organic acid-based hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) are popular sustainable solvents. In addition to possessing an amphiphilic character, zwitterionic DESs offer unique solvation properties, unlike those composed of halide-containing HBAs. While all other popular classes of DESs have been investigated, no study has attempted to characterize the solvation characteristics of zwitterionic DESs. In this study, the solvation properties of betaine [Bet]-, sulfobetaine-, and l-carnitine [l-Car]-based DESs were thoroughly investigated for the first time using solvatochromic dye methods and inverse gas chromatography (IGC). Herein, the Nile red polarity scale revealed that DESs composed of organic acids were generally more polar than diol-based DESs. Kamlet–Taft solvent parameters revealed that glycerol-based DESs offered exceptionally high hydrogen bond donating ability compared to those composed of 1,4-butane diol and triethylene glycol. The Abraham solvation parameter model revealed hydrogen bond basicity to be the most dominant interaction, and it was generally higher for diol-based HBDs compared to organic acid-based HBDs. Additionally, sulfobetaine HBAs possessing longer alkyl chains generally offered higher dispersive-type interactions and hydrogen bond basicity compared to [Bet] and [l-Car] salts. This is the first study to combine and compare results from solvatochromic dye methods and IGC in an attempt to comprehensively explain and predict the solvation characteristics of zwitterionic DESs.
