Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a highly versatile, polar organic, solvent known for its exceptional ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds, making it invaluable in scientific research. Chemically, it is an organosulfur compound with a sulfinyl group attached to two methyl groups, contributing to its distinctive solvent properties. The molecule′s polarity is largely due to the presence of the sulfinyl group, which is capable of forming strong dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds with a variety of substances. This mechanism underlies its wide use as a solvent in chemical reactions, where it can solvate a vast range of reactants, thus increasing reaction efficiency or even permitting reactions that might not otherwise occur. In the realm of materials science, DMSO is used in the synthesis and intercalation processes of nanomaterials, where its solvent properties help in dispersing materials at the molecular level, ensuring uniformity and enhancing material properties. Furthermore, DMSO is extensively utilized in polymer chemistry research for the dissolution and manipulation of polymers, particularly in the preparation of polymer films and as a reaction medium in polymerization processes. Its ability to penetrate biological membranes also makes it a useful tool in cellular and molecular biology for transporting compounds into cells in non-medical research settings, demonstrating its broad utility across various scientific disciplines.
