Measurements of vapour-liquid equilibria,densities, viscosities and dielectric properties of cyclohexanone + triethylamine mixtures with respect to keto-enol tautomerism

Densities, ?, kinematic viscosities ν, refractive indices n_D referred to the sodium D-line, static relative permittivities ε, specific conductances κ and vapour-liquid equilibrium data for cyclohexanone + triethylamine mixtures have been determined at two temperatures. Excess properties of mixing calculated from these data indicate that in such mixtures considerable amounts of enol-amine associates are formed. The permittivity data indicate that the formation of associates is an exothermic process, which also has a marked influence on the thermodynamic excess properties of the mixtures. The enol-amine associates may undergo electrolytic dissociation. A common evaluation of static relative permittivities and specific conductances shows that for the mixture the conductance data are affected considerably by the formation of undissociated ion pairs in the sense of Bjerrum theory, especially at concentrations of the mixture where it is less polar. The conductance data are also influenced considerably by the fact that the ion pairs are solvated if the molar ratio of triethylamine exceeds 0.5.
