AbstractA simple measure of the susceptibility of a substance to microwaves (MW) is the resulting heating rate that depends on its heat capacity, density, starting temperature, MW extinction coefficient at the used MW frequency and distance from the irradiated surface. Water, that is ubiquitous in many products, currently treated with MW, shows a large susceptibility at 2450 MHz MW. This is why water is a suitable reference to rank the MW susceptibility of other compounds. Aqueous solutions are the simplest systems to investigate how the presence of extra compounds can modify (normally, reduce) this property. The present work provides a very simple evidence of a peculiar MW susceptibility of the water–ethanol mixture with azeotropic composition, XEtOH = 0.90 mol fraction, at temperatures rather below the respective boiling point at ambient pressure. The available literature reports a number of experimental and theoretical investigations that suggest the formation of (EtOH)n·(H2O)m ring clusters that change the hydrogen bond network and/or favor intermolecular hydrophobic hydration. The decamer, (EtOH)9·H2O, could be responsible for the peculiar MW susceptibility of the azeotropic mixture.

To compare the structural properties of oxalamide and thiooxalamide groups in the formation of hydrogen bonds suitable for supramolecular assemblies a series of retropeptides was studied. Some of them, having oxalamide bridges, are gelators of organic solvents and water. However, retropeptides with oxygen replaced by the sp 2 sulfur have not exhibited such properties. The crystal structures of the two title compounds are homostructural, i.e. they have similar packing arrangements. The monothio compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with two molecules in the asymmetric unit arranged in a hydrogen-bond network with an approximate 41 axis along the crystallographic b axis. However, the dithio and dioxo analogues crystallize in the tetragonal space group P41 with similar packing patterns and hydrogen-bonding systems arranged in agreement with a crystallographic 41 axis. Thus, these two analogues are isostructural having closely related hydrogen-bonding patterns in spite of the different size and polarity of oxygen and sulfur which serve as the proton acceptors.
