The dielectric absorption of several aliphatic esters has been examined in the microwave region over a range of temperatures in n-heptane, cyclohexane, and benzene. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The values of the relaxation time for those solutions for which there are available known data agree well with other determinations. The relaxation times and the various molar activation parameters have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation. It would appear that the relaxation behavior of aliphatic esters is similar to that for other aliphatic molecules, such as aliphatic ketones studied previously.

The dielectric relaxation processes of acetone, cyclohexanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 4-heptanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride have been studied in the microwave region over a temperature range 10 to 60 °C. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.

The dielectric absorption of solutions of 2-hexanone, 4- and 5-nonanone, and 2-decanone has been examined in the microwave region over a range of temperatures in n-heptane, cyclohexane, and benzene. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The values of relaxation time are in reasonable agreement at the temperature at which there are available known data. Both the relaxation behavior and the thermodynamic processes are discussed and, where possible, compared with corresponding results of the other workers.

Dielectric constants and losses have been obtained for a number of aliphatic and aromatic ketones in cycloexane, n-hexadecane, decalin and paraffin oil – cyclohexane mixtures at up to ten frequencies between 1 and 145 GHz at 25 °C. Static dielectric constants have also been measured at 2 MHz. The results for each system have been analyzed in terms of a Cole–Cole distribution. The relaxation times and their viscosity dependence are discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by intramolecular and whole molecule rotations.

Complex dielectric permittivity measurements are reported at radio and microwave frequencies for four allyl compounds in the temperature range 30–70 °C. The analysis of dielectric data in terms of Cole–Cole arc, multiple relaxation times, and Higasi's distribution function reveals that the overall molecular rotation is the dominant relaxation mechanism in these unsaturated compounds. The activation parameters are evaluated assuming dielectric relaxation to be a rate process.

The dielectric absorption of quinoline, isoquinoline, and their binary mixtures has been studied in the microwave region over a range of temperatures in dilute benzene and n-heptane solutions. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated state have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results obtained have been discussed in terms of the molecular motion of the system. A relation has been proposed to represent the relaxation behavior of a system of two Debye-type polar components in a non-polar solvent. The relation has been tested by comparing the calculated values with those determined experimentally for a few systems consisting of similar, simple rigid polar molecules.

The dielectric relaxation behavior of 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-heptanone, and 3-nonanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride has been studied in the microwave region at a number of temperatures. The relaxation data have been used to estimate the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of activation for the relaxation mechanism. The values of the relaxation time for those solutions for which there are available known data agree well with other determinations. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by intramolecular and overall molecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.

The dielectric absorption and dispersions of several solutions of phenol in p-xylene have been measured at four microwave frequencies and at 2 MHz at a temperature of 25 °C. The data have been analyzed in terms of a mean relaxation time, a distribution parameter, and an apparent dipole moment which are useful empirical parameters for assessing the state of aggregation of the phenol molecules. The relaxation time at the lowest practicable concentration (0.02 mole fraction) is long for a molecule expected to relax predominantly by an intramolecular process. This and the behavior of the relaxation time and apparent dipole moment with increasing concentration are considered in terms of a model based on progressive association into an extended series of multimers, the trimer having a zero (or low) dipole moment and higher multimers becoming increasingly flexible.

The dielectric absorption of dilute solutions of nitrobenzene, chlorobenzene, and their mixtures in cyclohexane and Decalin® have been measured in the microwave region at three temperatures between 20 and 40 °C. The relaxation times and thermodynamic parameters are determined. A single relaxation time is found for the mixtures, and the results are discussed.

The dielectric absorption of nitromethane, benzonitrile, and acetonitrile and their binary mixtures has been studied in the microwave region over a range of temperatures in dilute benzene solutions. The data on static and optical permittivities at 20 °C have also been obtained, from measurements at 100 kHz and from measuring the refractive index for sodium-D lines, for a few cases. These data have been used to determine the relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated state. The results obtained have been discussed in terms of the molecular motion of the systems. A new empirical relation has been proposed to represent the relaxation behaviour of a system of two Debye-type polar components in a nonpolar solvent. The relation has been tested, along with a previously suggested relation, by comparing the calculated values with those determined experimentally.
