INVESTIGATION OF ALCOHOL-AMINE COMPLEXATION USING DIELECTRIC PROBE-N-BUTYLAMINE-N-BUTANOL AND N-PROPYLAMINE-N-PROPANOL SYSTEMS

The possibility of complex formation in binary mixtures of n-butylamin e-n-butanol and n-propylamine-n-propanol is studied using dielectric p robe. The dipole moment, the interaction dipole-moment, induced polari zation due to H-bonding and apparent complex formation constant of the complexes have been evaluated. Both the components have bifunctional groups-proton donor as well as proton acceptor. Three alternatives of complex formation are analysed. The results indicate that the complexa tion in both the cases is due to charge redistribution and the most li kely complexation is due to linkage between N(delta-) (proton acceptor ) of amine with H(delta+) of alcohol (proton donor).
