Molar orientation entropy and structure of the self-associated liquids

Research on the structural effects of intermolecular interactions not only brings us closer to a better understanding the macroscopic properties of liquids, but also allows one to modify these properties. Intermolecular dipolar couplings and hydrogen bonds are the most common interactions in liquids leading to formation of multimolecular entities with various structures. The natural rival of these interactions is the thermal agitation of molecules (kT), which aims to destroy the emerging structures. In this paper we present an experimental method to estimate the way of molecular self-assembly resulting from the simultaneous action of kT and intermolecular interactions. The method is based on the study of dipolar orientation effects induced by an applied electric field. As an experimental source of the information on these effects is temperature derivative of the static permittivity of tested liquid. That derivative is proportional to the liquid entropy change due to the ordering action of the electric field on the molecular dipoles. Here, we present the experimental results on temperature dependence of the static permittivity and increment of the orientation entropy of liquids where the self-association process realizes with two ways: dipolar couplings and hydrogen-bonds

Modeling of the Viscosity Behavior in the Interface Area of Two Miscible Liquids

The paper presents the results of the share viscosity (η) investigations performed for binary mixtures composed of the liquids of extremely different viscosities: a high-viscous α-tocopherol acetate (η ≈ 10 Pa s) is mixed with 4-n-propylcyclohexyl-4'-n-pentylphenyl (η ≈ 10 mPa s) and mesitilene (η ≈ 1 mPa s), the two low-viscous solvents composed of the non-polar molecules of an essentially different shape. It was found that the viscosities of the mixtures, disregarding the molecular shape of the non-polar admixture, exhibit a strong nonlinear dependence on tocopherol mole fraction and, at a given temperature, the dependence can be described with an exponential function. For a constant tocopherol concentration in the mixtures, the viscosity temperature dependences are well described with the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann relation. The results can be considered as a model of the viscosity behavior related to the laminar flow of miscible liquids of a different viscosity being in contact to each other

1\text{}^{1}H NMR Study of Molecular Dynamics of 4-apyH Cation under High Hydrostatic Pressure

Polycrystalline [4-NH$\text{}_{2}$C$\text{}_{5}$H$\text{}_{4}$NH] SbCl$\text{}_{4}$ and [4-NH$\text{}_{2}$C$\text{}_{5}$H$\text{}_{4}$NH] SbCl$\text{}_{6}$ have been investigated by proton NMR methods between 120 K and 370 K under hydrostatic pressure of 0.1 and 520 MPa. Reduction in the dipolar second moment is interpreted in terms of cation reorientation. Activation energies characterizing the motion increase with increasing pressure
