Abstract

The aggregation of some aldehydes in nonpolar solvents was investigated using the static dielectric method. The molecular association of acetone and two of its derivatives (acetophenone and benzophenone) in cyclohexane solvent were also investigated by this method. Analysis of the static dielectric data for solution of these materials indicated a high molecular association. It was found that benzaldehyde and its derivatives have a strong tendency for antiparallel molecular association, whereas acetone and its derivatives have a tendency for parallel alignment. The experimental results show that there is a sensitive relationship between the molecular association and molecular structure of these materials. The influence of solvent on the molecular association of the solute molecules was studied and compared.
