Description

2-{[4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl]methylidene}propanedinitrile (DMPPD) is a chromophore that absorbs light in the ultraviolet region. It has an activation energy of 69.5 kcal/mol and can be used as a solvent in organic reactions. DMPPD also interacts with crystal surfaces, which can be useful for crystal x-ray diffraction experiments. Kinetic studies have shown that DMPPD undergoes both reversible and irreversible reactions depending on the temperature, but it is thermodynamically stable. DMPPD crystallizes in the orthorhombic system and has a dipole moment of 2.3 debye. It is soluble in acetonitrile but insoluble in water and is an acceptor of hydrogen bonds from donor molecules such as phenols, alcohols, and amines.
