Spectroscopic studies, NBO analysis and dielectric studies on the behaviour of acetone molecules in non-polar solvent environment

The behaviour of acetone molecules in the presence of cyclohexane has been investigated by spectroscopic (FTIR, C-13 NMR and UV-vis) studies, NBO analysis and dielectric studies. C - H center dot center dot center dot O = C blue shifted H-bond has been identified in the binary mixture as well as in pure acetone. Irregular change in lambda(m) is noticed in the UV-vis spectrum. The dielectric parameters have been interpreted using the results obtained from spectroscopic studies. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
