i dont think you can, thats a unit for concentration of moles :confused:

if you want the conc.

mol/(volume)dm^3 = con dm^-3.

divide by 1000

Cadburys Dairy Milk - it stands for Centimetres, Decimetres, Metres. Divide by 1000 going from c-d-m, then multiply going backwards

The - bit just means it's 'per' something. So for example: s^2 is seconds squared, ms^-2 is meters per second squared.

In your case, dm^3 is decimeters cubed, dm^-3 is per decimeter cubed, most commonly you'll see something like mol dm^-3, which means moles per decimeter cubed.
