Abstract
The molecular association in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc or DMA) and DMAc/H2O mixtures was investigated using FT-IR spectroscopy. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations and spectral deconvolution identified the primary molecular association types among DMAc molecules, and the position of the characteristic peaks. Using two-dimensional infrared correlation analysis, the transition processes among several molecular association types were investigated as functions of temperature and concentration, the Trimer type of N,N-dimethylacetamide is the main association compared to the other associations (Free, Dimer and higher molecular aggregates (Agg)). In DMAc/H2O mixtures, we observed that water interacts with the carbonyl group through hydrogen bonding, and the evolution of dominant cluster structures in the system was examined as a function of DMAc concentration.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
