“…As a general observation, the main result that H E andH j are positive in the whole mole fraction range for all mixtures examined can be qualitatively explained with a net destruction, during the mixing process, of the structural order present in the neat liquids (H-bonding and dipole-induced dipole interactions in amines), in agreement with the interpretative scheme proposed by Patterson [19], and confirmed by the positive V E [2,3,20], G E [21] and H E [1,21] for n-alkane + alkylamine mixtures. Moreover, all amine categories show H E and H • j (j = 1,2) (except H • 2 of cy-heptylamine) that decrease as the amine size increases, exhibiting nicely parallel trends.…”
