Five compounds bearing glycerol skeletons: 1,3-diethoxypropan-2-one ([E, K, E]), 2,5,9,12-tetraoxatridecan-7-one ([ME, K, ME]), 1,3-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)propan-2-one ([F, K, F]), 7-(2-methoxyethoxy)-2,5,9,12-tetraoxatridecane ([ME, ME, ME]) and 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-1,3-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)propane ([F, ME, F]) – were synthesized from epichlorohydrin at molar scales with high regioselectivity. Density and viscosity were measured over a temperature range of 293.15 to 353.15 K. Henry’s constants for CO2were obtained under moderate pressures (2 to 10 atm) at 303.15, 318.15, 333.15 and 348.15 K. Comparison of CO2affinity with dimethyl ethers of polyethylene glycol (DMPEG) and ionic liquids (ILs) indicated that [ME, ME, ME] and [F, ME, F] are excellent candidates as novel physical solvents for CO2capture. DFT calculations were performed to understand the structure–property-performance relationships for the CO2absorption mechanism. All five compounds were miscible with most common solvents except hexanes and water. In addition to gas absorption applications, these compounds might also find use as general purpose green solvents.
