Studies of the reorientational motion and intermolecular interaction of dimethyl sulfoxide in water by depolarized Rayleigh scattering

Aggregation behavior of N-alkyl perfluorooctanesulfonamides in dimethyl sulfoxide solution

“…As an excellent aprotic solvent, DMSO can be completely soluble in water and widely used in organic chemistry, biochemistry, industry and medicine [32]. It has the highest dipole moment (4.3 D) and the highest dielectric constant (48 at 20°C) among all dipolar aprotic liquids [33].…”

Ligand‐Exchange Processes on Solvated Lithium Cations: DMSO and Water/DMSO Mixtures

“…It is widely used in laboratories due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of chemical compounds (from ionic inorganic salts to purely covalent compounds), because it is an aprotic but highly polar polyfunctional molecule with both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic site. Moreover, it has the highest dipole moment (4.3 Debye [12] ) and highest dielectric constant (48 at 20 8C) of any dipolar aprotic liquid. Furthermore, DMSO is also used as a valuable reactant, for example, in a number of oxidation reactions, [13,14] such as the Swern oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones using activated DMSO, [15,16] or in a Pummerer-type reaction [17] to obtain the Trçger bases.…”

Molecular dynamics simulation of dilute aqueous DMSO solutions. A temperature-dependence study of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic behaviour around DMSO

“…DMSO and its aqueous solutions have received considerable attention from a wide range of experimental techniques, such as X-ray and neutron diffraction studies, 22,23 as well as optical, 12,[24][25][26][27][28][29] acoustic, 7,30-32 NMR [33][34][35][36][37][38][39] and dielectric [40][41][42][43] spectroscopies. These studies have suggested that DMSO behaves as a strong structure maker by rigidifying the water structure, possibly through the hydrophobic hydration of the methyl groups of DMSO.…”
