Influence of Tetra Alkyl Ammonium Cation and Temperature on Molecular Interactions Involves in Binary Liquid Mixtures of Dioxane and DMF at Various Temperatures

Abstract

Ultrasonic velocity (u), density (ρ), viscosity (η) and related acoustical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility (β), free energy (∆G), internal pressure (πi), relaxation time (τ) and acoustic impedance (z) have been computed using standard relation for tetra alkyl ammonium cation (Et4N + , Pr4N + , Bu4N + , and Pen4N + ) in binary liquid mixtures of 1, 4 Dioxane and N, N – Dimethyl Formamide was prepared of 0.14M on different percentage compositions over the temperature range from 303.15K to 323.15K with the interval of 10K under room pressure to investigate inter ionic interactions. The densities were measured by Magnetic Float Densitometer. Transport properties provide a deep and meaningful insight of various interactions taking place. It has been observed that the influence of small as well as large alkyl chain length of tetra alkyl ammonium cations (R4N + ), in terms of shape and ionic size with the DMF solvent in the presence of Dioxane, is helpful in investigating the molecular interactions, molecular rearrangement, molecular association etc.
