Dielectric studies of hydrogen bonded complexes of alcohols with NN-dimethyl formamide

The dipole moment studies of 1:1 complexes of NN-dimethyl formamide with n-propanol (I), 2-propanol (II), n-butanol (III), 2-butanol (IV), isobutyl alcohol (V), tert-butanol (VI), 2-pentanol (VII), 1-octanol (VIII), benzyl alcohol (IX) and 1-decanol (X) in benzene were determined at 308 K. The dipolar increments of the systems were computed from the bond angle data available from molecular orbital studies. The nature of complexation is discussed.
