Research reported by Hess, et al. has shown that organophosphates with PEG substituents are excellent liquid electrolyte media with useful properties including high boiling points and low viscosities, which also render them excellent candidates as CO2 solvents. They reported the synthesis of two symmetrical organophosphates from 2-methyoxyethan-1-ol and diethylene glycol, monomethyl ether, respectively, which we identified for study.
