Abstract

Solute-solvent interactions play a major role in determining the physiochemical properties of solutions. Yet our understanding of this subject is far from complete. Rotational diffusion studies of medium-sized molecules provide a useful means to probe these interactions. The rate of diffusion is sensitive to the shape of the molecule and interaction between the solute and solvent molecules. Because of continuous interactions with their neighbours, molecules rotating in liquid, experience friction. By modeling this friction using various continuum-based theories, we can get better insight into the nature of the solute-solvent interactions.
