The use of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a cryoprotectant to reduce cellular injury during freezing is well known, however the intermolecular interactions between this amphiphilic molecule and biological membranes that form the basis of this protection are unknown. DMSO–dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicle interactions were investigated in pulsed-field gradient NMR (PFGNMR) experiments and spectra analysis allowed for the determination of self-diffusion coefficients for each species present. The mole fraction of DMSO associated with the DPPC vesicles was then calculated from the diffusion coefficients: the mole fraction increased from 14% to 42% as the membrane was heated from below to above the main phase transition temperature.

3-Azido-1-propyne oligomer (oligoAP) samples, prepared by copper(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) polymerization, were quarternized quantitatively with methyl iodide in sulfolane at 60 °C to obtain soluble oligomers. The conformation of the quarternized oligoAP in dilute DMSO-d 6 solution was examined by pulse-field-gradient spin-echo NMR based on the touched bead model.

The self diffusion coefficients D of the water molecules and of sucrose have been determined by the pulsed field gradient NMR technique over a wide range of temperatures and concentrations (cmax: 70% w/w suc.). All temperature dependencies can be fitted to a Vogel- Tammann-Fulcher equation. The isothermic concentration dependence of D for the sucrose is given by a simple exponential concentration dependence
