Characterization of binary solvent mixtures of DMSO with water and other cosolvents.
Binary mixtures of DMSO with nine different cosolvents were characterized in light of the pure solvent scales, using suitable probe/homomorph couples. Various physical (vapor pressure, surface tension, viscosity, and enthalpy of mixing) and spectroscopic (IR and NMR) properties of the DMSO/water mixtures are described in terms of their polarity, acidity, and basicity, and the descriptions are examined with a view to establishing their potential physical significance.
