This chapter offers a comprehensive examination of hydrophobic and natural deep eutectic solvents (DES), focusing on their discovery, molecular structures, properties, and diverse applications. It explores how DES are formed through the combination of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, resulting in unique physaic-ochemical properties like adjustable viscosity and polarity. The chapter delves into the physical and chemical characteristics of these solvents, emphasizing their environmental and biological advantages such as biodegradability, low toxicity, and biocompatibility. It highlights various applications across fields like extraction and separation processes, catalysis, pharmaceuticals, material science, agriculture, and energy. The discussion also addresses future perspectives and challenges related to scalability, industrial implementation, regulatory considerations, and ongoing research. Overall, the chapter underscores the significant potential of hydrophobic and natural DES in promoting sustainable practices and advancing green chemistry innovations.
