A new hydrophobic eutectic solvent based on trioctylphosphine oxide and di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid was obtained. The formation of HDES was confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopy. The physical properties of the synthesized HDES were studied: density, shear and dynamic viscosity, refractive index in the range of 15-60°C. Using the method of differential scanning calorimetry, the thermal stability of HDES was studied and a phase diagram was obtained in various molar ratios. The possibility of its use as an extractant for the extraction of transition metal ions in a heterogeneous liquid-liquid system, as well as the possibility of their separation, was studied.
