title: Characterization of binary solvent mixtures of DMSO with water and other cosolvents.
abstract: 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.
