“…Because DS often provides insight only into the composition of the whole mixture, its use in reaction monitoring will likely be sensitive to the presence of impurities and parallel processes (e.g., side-reactions, crystallization events, etc.). In this way, it is similar to established ‘integral’ methods including reaction calorimetry and measurements of physico-chemical properties (e.g., density, conductivity, and refractive index , ). Furthermore, as noted above, dielectric property measurements can also be very sensitive to temperature .…”
