Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)
Solubility Data
Bulletin # 102B
Introduction
DMSO, one of the strongest organic solvents, has been used commercially for over forty years. It is an effective solvent for a wide array of organic materials, including many polymers. DMSO also dissolves many inorganic salts, particularly transition metals nitrates, cyanides and dichromates. DMSO is miscible with water and most organic liquids.
This bulletin summarizes solubility of the following materials in DMSO:
