Molecular light scattering and the structure of benzene-toluene mixtures

The degree of depolarization and the intensity of molecular light scatterin g in the benzene-toluene system were measured at 25 degreesC. The concentra tion dependences of light scattering parameters and the correlation theory were used to suggest a model of the structure of C6H6-C7H8 solutions, whose principal features are almost orthogonal benzene contacts and S-configurat ions of neighboring molecules.
