Abstract
We have determined the complex dielectric spectra of 2-propanol/water mixtures employing time domain reflectometry for the entire mixing range in 0.1<&LE;ν/GHz&LE;25 at 20&DEG;C, 25&DEG;C, and 30&DEG;C. At the specific concentrations, a frequency range was expanded up to 89 GHz with the help of waveguide interferometry. The excess activation free energy, &UDelta;G(E), enthalpy, &UDelta;H-E, and entropy, &UDelta;S-E, and their partial molar quantities, &UDelta;G(i)(E), DeltaH(i)(E), and DeltaS(i)(E) [i=2-propanol (2PA) and water (W)] were derived from the relaxation time of the cooperative process, tau(1). In the water-rich region, DeltaH(E) and DeltaS(E) exhibit conspicuous behavior with large positive values, which suggests an increase of the "time averaged'' number and the strength of H-bonds. tau(1) becomes considerably larger for 2-propanol/water than that for 1-propanol/water, resulting in similar to10% larger maxima of DeltaH and DeltaS. This indicates that the steric hindrance caused by the nonpolar group is more efficient for the branched isopropyl unit than that for the linear n-propyl moiety in preventing "disturbing fifth neighbor water molecules'' from acting as new H-bond partners for a hydroxyl group of alcohols. The two pertinent maxima in DeltaH(2PA)(E) and DeltaS(2PA)(E) at X(molar fraction of 2-propanol) similar to0.03 and similar to0.07 support the view that around Xsimilar to0.05, water molecules are pushed out of the first coordination shell of the nonpolar group into the bulk due to solute-solute association, commonly called hydrophobic interaction. In Xgreater than or equal to0.15, DeltaH(2PA)(E) and DeltaS(2PA)(E) become nearly zero, suggesting the generation of zigzag H-bonded alcohol chains similar to the pure alcohol. The analysis of the effective correlation factor, g(eff), revealed a strong structural perturbation effect of water in 0.5less than or equal toXless than or equal to1.0.
