Dielectric Relaxation of Alkyl Acetates in Aromatic and Aliphatic Solvents at Microwave Frequencies
Keyword(s):
The dielectric relaxation times and the dipole moments of methyl, ethyl, and amyl acetates are measured in six nonpolar solvents having different viscosities. The dielectric relaxation time is found to increase with the chain length in each nonpolar solvent. The relaxation times in aromatic solvents (benzene and p-xylene) are found to be higher than in carbon tetrachloride, even though the viscosity of the latter is more than that of the aromatic solvents This shows that the dielectric relaxation is not only due to the viscous resistance of the solvent but is also influenced by strong interactions between aromatic solvents and solute molecules.
