Abstract

The shape of the infrared NH stretching band of N-methyl aniline in different solvents has been studied. Carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethylene, carbon disulfide, benzene, anisole, chloroform, dioxane and di-n-butyl ether were used as solvents. Band shapes observed show self-association of N-methyl aniline in dioxane, di-n-butyl ether and chloroform solutions. Moments analysis and time autocorrelation function calculations have been performed. The frequencies of the band maximum are more sensible to the solvent than the half band width and the band shape. Moments values depend strongly on the integration interval. The correlation function shows non-exponential decays in a short time range (0–0.16 ps) for any solutions, and this indicates that the molecular motions do not obey a simple rotational diffusion model. Exponential decays show at times longer than 0.16 ps. Relaxation times are linearly related with the solvents viscosity.
