X-ray study of molecular association in alcohols having bulky substituents
The formation of globular associate on cooling, which was previously claimed on the basis of small dielectric constant, is supported through measuring X-ray scattering from dicyclohexylmethanol (DCHM). Radial distribution function of the DCHM molecules exhibits strong temperature dependence between 65 degrees C and 130 degrees C in contrast to a little change in that of tricyclohexylmethanol (TCHM), which is similar to DCHM but essentially non-associating in experimental conditions (95-160 degrees C).
