With oxygen bound to 2 carbon atoms, the ether is incapable of hydrogen bonding and exhibits overall lower polarity. This will come in handy when studyingpolar protic and aprotic solvents. Naming Ethers Like their sulfur counterparts, the ether group is an -OR group attached to the parent chain...
To check whether this is only the case for the previously studied MEA/EG/ChCl ternary system, or if this applies to all similar ternary systems containing amines and molecular solvents of different natures, the following steps were carried out. First, the compositions of the investigated systems...
