Abstract
The dielectric absorption at several microwave frequencies of liquid ethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, and phenyltrimethylsilane at 15, 37.5, and 50 °C and cyclohexane solutions of t-butylbenzene and benzotrichloride at 15, 37.5, 45, and 50 °C has been examined. Benzotrichloride has also been studied in cyclohexane and p-xylene solution at 25 °C. Only molecular reorientation can be detected for benzotrichloride, whereas the remainder are all characterized by an absorption that may be analyzed into two relaxation times, one associated with molecular reorientation (τ1) and a shorter relaxation time (τ2) which appears to be attributable to an intermolecular process. The enthalpies of activation of the τ1 process show the expected increase with increasing molecular size, while no temperature dependence is detectable for the shorter relaxation process.Keywords
