Self-Association of Medium-Chain Alcohols in n-Decane Solutions

Abstract: Self-association of medium-chain alcohols in n-decane solutions has been studied by infrared absorption of the fundamental OH stretching vibration. The alcohols investigated were 1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol. Infrared spectra were acquired for varying alcohol molalities, the highest concentration being 0.2 mol/kg. The spectra for each alcohol were collected in a data matrix. The bilinear multicomponent data were successfully resolved into spectra an… Show more

“…Guillén and Cabo (12) also reported a shift of the ROOH band toward lower wavenumbers as oils underwent oxidation at 60°C, but to a somewhat lesser extent. Similar band shifts observed in the FTIR spectra of alcohols at high concentrations in n-decane have been attributed to cluster formation (19); thus, it may be postulated that the ROOH band shift is due to extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding of hydroperoxides resulting from their accumulation at high concentrations in the card matrix at the moderate temperatures used. In experiments performed to investigate this further, sunflower oil was oxidized at 60°C for 6 d and then serially diluted with fresh sunflower oil to produce seven standards ranging from 10 to 100% oxidized oil.…”

“…(52). Since the activity coefficient of oleyl alcohol can be estimated approximately at 298.15 K in the terms of the ratio of the monomer fraction to the total concentration of oleyl alcohol [22], we adopted the method proposed by Aveyard et al and calculated the monomer concentration at 298.15 K by IR spectroscopy [3,38] as follows: The infrared spectra showed the same aspect as the ones in the previous studies [11]; only one band at 3644 cm −1 assigned to the free-OH stretching vibration appeared at a lower concentration and the bands assigned to the OH stretching vibration in aggregates appeared at high concentrations [8,10]. Then we can estimate the monomer concentration by the dependence of the absorbance maximum around 3644 cm −1 on the concentration [11].…”

“…The properties of oil solutions of long-chain alcohols have been studied from the different points of views and it has been known that alcohol molecules gather together to form aggregates in oil solutions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Also, in our previous paper [11], the enthalpy of mixing of oleyl alcohol and oils was measured by a high-accuracy isothermal calorimeter and the aggregation behavior of the alcohol molecules has been elucidated.…”
