This study presents an investigation on the intra-and inter-molecular interactions of binary systems composed of benzonitrile (BN) and 1-alkanols, namely, 1propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-heptanol. For this purpose, from the experimental density (ρ) and speed of sound (u) data, excess volume (V E ), isentropic compressibility (κ s ), and excess isentropic compressibility (k s E ) were calculated for all binary liquid mixtures at different temperatures from (293.15 to 323.15) K with an interval of 5 K and at 0.1 MPa. Then, the calculated excess properties data have been correlated with the Redlich−Kister polynomial equation satisfactorily. Moreover, the interaction energies, bond characteristics, optimized geometries, and natural bond orbital (NBO) were theoretically calculated using the DFT-B3LYP method with 6-31G (d,p) basis sets for pure components and their complexes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
