STUDIES OF TRIOCTYLMETHYLAMMONIUM CHLORIDE BY DIELECTRIC-SPECTROSCOPY

The dielectric relaxation studies of trioctylmethylammonium chloride ( TOMAC) in pure state and in n-heptane, iso-octane and I,4-dioxane solu tions have been performed in the frequency range 100 kHz to 36 GHz at 20 degrees C and 50 degrees C. The dielectric spectra have been formal ly described as a sum of the conductivity end two relaxational contrib utions. The viscosity dependence of the relaxation time, corresponding to the contribution appearing in low frequency region, shows full ana logy to the ''limiting'' behaviour of many electrolyte solutions.
