  2. Dimethyl sulfoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyl_sulfoxide

    Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 S O.This colorless liquid is the sulfoxide most widely used commercially. It is an important polar aprotic solvent that dissolves both polar and nonpolar compounds and is miscible in a wide range of organic solvents as well as water.

  3. Deuterated DMSO - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterated_DMSO

    Deuterated DMSO, also known as dimethyl sulfoxide-d 6, is an isotopologue of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, (CH 3) 2 S=O)) with chemical formula ((CD 3) 2 S=O) in which the hydrogen atoms ("H") are replaced with their isotope deuterium ("D"). Deuterated DMSO is a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy.

    cis-RuCl 2 (dmso) 4, a representative metal complex of a sulfoxide. Three DMSO ligands are S-bonded to Ru, one is O-bonded. Sulfoxides, especially DMSO, form coordination complexes with transition metals. Depending on the hard-soft properties of the metal, the sulfoxide binds through either the sulfur or the oxygen atom. The latter is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylsulfonylmethane

    Dimethyl sulfone (DMSO 2) is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 SO 2. It is also known by several other names including methyl sulfone and (especially in alternative medicine) methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). [4] This colorless solid features the sulfonyl functional group and is the simplest of the sulfones. It is relatively inert ...

  7. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    There is no standard quantitative definition of hygroscopicity, so generally the qualification of hygroscopic and non-hygroscopic is determined on a case-by-case basis. For example, pharmaceuticals that pick up more than 5% by mass, between 40 and 90% relative humidity at 25 °C, are described as hygroscopic, while materials that pick up less ...

    However, a significant portion of DMS in seawater is oxidized to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Relevant to global climate, DMS is thought to play a role in the Earth's heat budget by decreasing the amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface. This occurs through degradation of DMS in the atmosphere into hygroscopic compounds that ...

    [2] [3] This is the opposite use of a hygroscopic material where it is used as a desiccant used to draw moisture away. In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, humectants can be used in topical dosage forms to increase the solubility of a chemical compound's active ingredients, increasing the active ingredients' ability to penetrate skin, or its ...
