“…FOR is able to develop cyclic dimers and also chainlike aggregations by H-bonding; the population of cyclic dimmers varies from 3.0 to 12.0% in the different available studies, although a value close to 8% seems to be confirmed by some experimental measurements . The inclusion of alkyl chains in the −NH 2 group leads to remarkable changes in the hydrogen bonding ability of formamides, and thus, the two simplest derived molecules N -methylformamide (NMF) and N , N -dimethylformamide (DMF) have also been the subject of remarkable research. , The hydrogen bonded network in pure FOR is characterized by the formation of two H-bonds per molecule on average, , whereas the structure of DMF is characterized by intermolecular interactions through dipole–dipole mechanisms. , Likewise, considering the presence of both donor and acceptor hydrogen bonding groups in FOR and NMF, or only acceptor in DMF, the behavior of these molecules upon mixing with other relevant hydrogen bond donors and/or acceptors has also been studied ,− In particular, formamides + alcohols have been studied because of the relevance of having −OH, −NH 2 , and −COH functional groups in the same fluid with regard to the characterization of hydrogen bonding in complex fluids. − The complex structuring in formamide + alcohol binary liquid mixtures rising from the H-bonding and its changes with mixture composition should be even more complicated when considering alkanediols, in which the presence of two hydroxyl groups may lead to interactions with the available groups in the formamides developing H-bonded networks. To our knowledge, no previous studies were reported in the literature for formamides + 1,2-alkanediols, and thus, considering the relevant features of 1,2-alkanediols, − and the complexity of H-bonding in these liquid mixtures, the study of these systems deserves detailed attention.…”
