X-RAY-ANALYSIS OF INTERMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS IN SOLUTIONS OF 2-METHYL-2-PROPANOL IN CARBON-TETRACHLORIDE

It was found that the changes in the values of the mean least intermol ecular distances with increasing concentration of the solution of 2-me thyl-2-propanol in carbon tetrachloride were not linear. Within the ra nge of low concentrations, i.e. from 0.07-0.08 molar fraction, a local minimum of the values of the mean least intermolecular distance was f ound to occur. This value remains stable within the range from 0.1 to 0.6 molar fraction, and then decreases to the minimum value for pure 2 -methyl-2-propanol. The results obtained in this work confirm the spec ific structural properties of the solution in the lower concentration range.
