Thermophysical contribution of N,N-dimethylformamide in the molecular interactions with other solvents

This review delineates on molecular interactions of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with some solvents reported by various thermodynamic and thermophysical measurements. Several topics and examples of thermodynamic studies are depicted on the basis of the present authorʹs experience focusing on the structural behavior for binary and ternary mixtures of DMF with different non-electrolytes. Valuable information on the behavior and factors governing of the liquid structure of the strongly associated solvents are also reviewed. A discussion is presented and deviations are interpreted in terms of size, shape, the position of ketone group, the chain length of alkanol and hydrogen bond effects in the liquid mixtures to explain about chemical and thermophysical behavior. Our goal in this review is to provide the structural and thermophysical contribution of the literature related to DMF with other solvents. Eventually, we reviewed what has been learned about the excess volumes and ultrasonic studies of ternary mixtures containing DMF with other solvents from experimental studies and also summarized the important contributions of DMF in the molecular interactions with other solvents.
