Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) gel was prepared by the freezing and thawing method using the solvents of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) and tetramethylene sulfone(sulfolane). The gelation time after a series of freezing and thawing was examined with varying PAN concentration of DMA solution and the freezing time. Dynamic viscoelasticity was measured in the course of gelation for DMA solution to observe t...

Chemical magnetometers are radical pair systems such as solutions of pyrene and N,N-dimethylaniline (Py-DMA) that show magnetic field effects in their spin dynamics and their fluorescence. We investigate the existence and decay of quantum entanglement in free geminate Py-DMA radical pairs and discuss how entanglement can be assessed in these systems. We provide an entanglement witness and propo...

1. Conductivity and u.v. and visible spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the solution structure of the prosthetic group of the ferric haemoproteins (ferrihaem) in dimethyl sulphoxide, NN-dimethylacetamide, NN-dimethylformamide and sulpholane, and certain of their aqueous mixtures. 2. In neutral or acid dimethyl sulphoxide, chlorohaemin is monomeric and completely dissociated into ...

a phosgene-free synthesis of symmetrical n,n'-disubstituted urea by the reaction of aromatic and aliphatic primary amines and urea promoted by  microwave irradiation in the presence of a suitable energy-transfer solvent such as n-n-dimethylacetamide is described.

Mechanically tough poly(L-lactide) (PLLA)/ N,N -dimethylacetamide (DMAc) gels by rapid quenching using liquid nitrogen (LN) were synthesized. PLLA/DMAc solution at 110 °C was cooled room temperature (PLLA-RT), or quenched LN before keeping RT (PLLA-LN). PLLA-RT with the PLLA concentrations of 5, 8, and 11 wt% did not form gel, while 14 17 could brittle gel exhibiting coarse structures. In contr...

In the title compound, C(15)H(14)N(4)O(2)S, the phenyl ring is inclined at 70.25 (6)° with respect to the approximately planar fur-yl-triazolsulfan-yl-acetamide unit. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules related by inversion centers form dimers via inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between acetamide groups, resulting in eight-membered rings with an R(2) (2)(8) motif. In addition, the other H...
