Absorption of microwave radiation by solutions. Part 2.—Dielectric relaxation of (a) cyclohexane-1,4-dione and some cyclohexane-1,4-diols and (b) diphenyl and 0,0′-ditolyl sulphides, sulphoxides and sulphones

Abstract

Electric dipole moments and dielectric relaxation times of thirteen compounds have been calculated from measurements made at radio and at microwave frequencies on dilute solutions in benzene, benzene + dioxan and benzene + nujol solutions at 25.0°C. The results are discussed in terms of molecular conformations and relaxation mechanisms.
