The Structure of Liquid DMAc (Disordered Materials Express)

Abstract: We will use neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution to study Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) in the hope of establishing this amide solvent's structure. Dimethylacetamide is a versatile intermediate with a variety of applications. It is a widely used chemical solvent and has recently become one of few favoured solvents for nanomaterial disperson and dissolution. Though this experiment, we will deduce the structure which governs this solvent's chemical properties. This will allow us to better understand the performance of this important solvent and compare it to other similar commonly-adopted amide solvents.
