A Spectroscopic Study of Intermolecular Interactions and of Ion-Solvent Interactions in Systems Containing Propylene Carbonate

Abstract
The properties of propylene carbonate (PC) were studied in respect of intermolecular interactions and ion-solvent interactions. The study was accomplished by using IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. On the basis ofthe temperature variation of the 1H NMR spectra it was found that PC did not undergo self-association. The IR spectral study showed also that PC did not interact with ClO4, Br, I and BPh4- anions, and interacted to a measurable extent with the Li+, Mg2+ and Na+ cations. The mothod of differential IR spectra turned out to be particularly useful for studing these interactions. The results were suported by the previously reported conductometric measurements.
