Re: Difference between THF and DCM as solvents «Reply #1 on:March 27, 2016, 06:58:42 PM » Yes, both solvents are polar aprotic, they are different as you noted by observation, so it's a bad habit to classify them as the same. The measuring sticks of the solvent are the diele...
In polar aprotic solvents, GO and o-CNT showed similar dispersion behavior. On the other hand, in polar protic solvents, such as ethanol and isopropanol, GO did not show dispersion stability whereas the o-CNTs did. This difference in the dispersion behavior between GO and o-CNTs resulted ...
The rate of the SN2 reaction depends on various factors; nucleophilic strength determines the rate of reaction because steric hindrance affects the nucleophilic strength. The solvents used in the reaction also affect the reaction rate; polar aprotic solvents are preferred for SN2 reactions. If the le...
