“…As we reported previously [2][3][4][5][6][7], the mixtures containing MMTSO are energetically less stable or more unstable than those containing DMSO, when the other component is polar, irrespective of being aprotic or protic, namely water [3], chloroform, deuterochloroform [5], dichloromethane [4], n-alkane-l-ols [6], and methyl alkylketones [12]. On the other hand, the mixtures containing DMSO, are more unstable than those with MMTSO, when the second component is nonpolar as C6H6-n(CH3)~, n = 0 to 3 [3,7]. Although cycloethers have polar radicals, the mixture of cyclic ether + MMTSO and cyclic ether + DMSO showed a behaviour similar to the mixtures with nonpolar component.…”
