Abstract
The effect of a homologous series of cyclic monohydric alcohols (C4−C8) on the temperature of maximum density of water has been examined. The structural contribution to the shift in the temperature of maximum density (TMD) is positive (increased structuredness) for alcohols up to C6 but becomes negative at C8. The behavior is compared with that of linear monohydric alcohols and Ω-diols.
