Abstract Measurements of dielectric constant (e′) and loss (e″) have been made at five different ... more Abstract Measurements of dielectric constant (e′) and loss (e″) have been made at five different microwave frequencies from 1000 MHz to 67.7 GHz for acetophenone, benzophenone and propiophenone in four different non-polar solvents namely benzene, cyclohexane, 1-4-dioxane and n-heptane. Results are reported at five different temperatures from 25°C to 60°C. The dielectric data of these ketones in different solvents are analysed in terms of the Cole-Cole arc plots and superposition of two Debye-type absorptions. Values of mean relaxation times (τ o ), dipolement (μ), overall relaxation time (τ 1 ) and group relaxation time (τ 2 ) have been obtained and presented here. The values of relaxation time and dipolemoment are in reasonable good agreement, at the temperatures, at which there are available known data.

Dielectric relaxation times T(1) and r(2) have been calculated using the single-frequency concentrationvariation method as suggested by Higasi. Comparison with a few available results indicates that ~(2) leads to relaxation times for overall molecular rotation, whereas T(1) becomes an explicit function of both inter-and intramolecular-relaxation times. r(2), as well as the distribution parameter (a), show a systematic decrease with increase in temperature. Values of the dipole moments are also reported for these acetophenones.

Analysis of dielectric data in terms of Cole-Cole arc plots and multiple relaxation processes reveals that, at higher temperatures, overall molecular relaxation is the dominant relaxation mechanism in these P-diketones. The observed relaxation times, distribution parameters, and dipole moments are in reasonable agreement with the few data reported for some temperatures, in the literature. The activation energy parameters are also evaluated assuming dielectric relaxation to be a rate process. Molar polarization vs. weight fraction (concentration) plots show anomalous behaviour for acetylacetone.

Values of the dipole moments are also reported for these acetophenones.
