Abstract

Published volumetric mixing data for DMSO–n-alcohol systems show a transition from attractive to repulsive interaction dominance for increasing alkyl chain length. A spectroscopic marker for the relative dominance of these interactions is investigated by FTIR measurements. While most vibrational modes show very similar behavior for the alcohols (C3–C5) studied, the CO torsion mode reveals a strong correlation between maximum red-shift and the balance of attraction and repulsion.
