Molecular acoustics. Part 2.—Ultrasonic relaxation in some halogenoalkanes
Abstract
Ultrasonic relaxation observed in a number of halogenated hydrocarbons has been attributed to a perturbation of the equilibrium between rotational isomers. In all cases the experimental data are consistent with a single relaxation mechanism. This suggests that the magnitude of the relaxation times of all the possible equilibria between the various conformers is close.
