RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Orientational effects in mixtures of organic carbonates with alkanes or 1-alkanols A1 González López, Juan Antonio Mariano A1 Hevia de los Mozos, Luis Fernando A1 Alonso-Tristán, Cristina A1 García de la Fuente, Isaías Laudelino A1 Cobos Hernández, José Carlos K1 Termodinámica K1 2213 Termodinámica AB Interactions and structure of organic carbonate + alkane, and 1-alkanol + organic carbonate mixtures have been investigated by means of a set of molar excess functions, enthalpies (H_m^E), volumes (V_m^E), isobaric heat capacities, (C_pm^E) or entropies; and considering internal pressure (P_int); liquid-liquid equilibria or permittivity data. In addition, the mentioned systems have been studied using the Flory model and the concentration-concentration structure factor,S_CC (0), formalism. The mixtures under consideration are characterized by dipolar interactions and by homocoordination (that is, by interactions between like molecules). In systems with a given solvent, dipolar interactions are weakened in the order: propylene carbonate (PC) > dimethyl carbonate (DMC) > diethyl carbonate (DEC). Comparison of mixtures containing DMC or DEC with those involving 2-propanone or 3-pentanone shows that dipolar interactions are not determined merely by values of the dipole moment, but they also depend on the size group. The enthalpies of the alkanol-carbonate interactions have been evaluated from calorimetric data. They are stronger in DMC solutions, and become weaker when the alcohol size increases in mixtures with a given carbonate. Application of the Flory model to 43 systems of the type 1-alkanol + carbonate provides a mean relative standard deviation for H_m^E equal to 0.107. Results reveal that orientational effects decrease in the order DEC > PC > DMC. Orientational effects are particularly relevant in methanol or ethanol + DEC mixtures. Interestingly, the mentioned effects are weaker in 1-alkanol + DMC mixtures than in DMC + alkane systems. A similar trend is observed in DEC solutions when the considered alcohol is longer than ethanol.
