Chapter 7 - Structural Study of Binary Mixtures of Polar Liquids Containing Heterocyclic Compounds and Hydroxyl or Amino Groups

Abstract

This chapter describes the dielectric relaxation characterization of binary systems containing heterocyclic compounds and liquids containing amino or hydroxyl groups using time domain reflectometry technique. The dielectric parameters, viz. static permittivity, relaxation time, Kirkwood correlation factor, excess permittivity, excess inverse relaxation time, activation energy, and Bruggeman factor, are presented in this chapter for pyridine–alcohol, pyridine–amides, pyridine–water, and pyridine–sulfolane binary systems. This chapter provides important information about the molecular interaction between heterocyclic compounds and other solvents at microwave frequency.
