Dielectric spectrum of polyhydric alcohol (1,2,3)-DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) mixtures, at full concentration, have been determined by the dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) method at frequencies from 20 MHz to 20 GHz at room temperature. The mixture behavior is described according to four Davidson-Cole terms whose evolution with composition is analyzed. The binding energies and hydrogen bond (HB) numbers between solute-solute and solvent-solute pairs are obtained from the permittivity using the Luzar model. The average HBs number associated with DMSO decreases with increasing mole fraction of DMSO. The binding energy of solute-solute (E11) and solvent-solute (E12) interaction decreases with the increased numbers of carbon atoms in the alcohols.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
