FTIR Spectroscopic Studies on the Binary Solutions of 1 – Propanol with Xylene Isomers

Abstract

FTIR spectroscopic study is performed in 4000 – 400cm−1wavenumber rangeon pure Propanol(PRO), pure o-xylene (OXY), pure m-xylene(MXY), pure p-xylene(PXY) and their binary solutions (SS1 = 0.2 PRO + 0.8 OXY/MXY/PXY, SS2 =0.4+0.6 , SS3 = 0.6 + 0.4 and SS4 = 0.8 + 0.2)at various mole fractions. It was observed that neat propanol liquid appearsto be multimer especially as cyclic tetramer and involve in classical and non-classical hydrogen bond interactions with the three xylene isomers in all the binary solutions.
