Ultrasonic spectroscopy of pure cyclic compounds.
Ultrasonic studies of the group of halogens of benzene and particularly dependence of acoustic parameters on the structure of organic liquids, demonstrate some interesting regularities in the group of these compounds in gas and liquid states. In this paper results for five cyclic liquids: bromo-, chloro-, fluoro- and jodobenzene are discussed and compared to benzene. Vibrational relaxation was observed in all the compounds. The studies reported here as well as other experimental for great number of compounds support the conclusion that almost all vibrational relaxation processes in liquids can be described using a single relaxation time. It also seems that all vibrational degrees of freedom of the molecule take part in this vibrational process. It seems that differences in transition probabilities between molecules studied could be caused by additional attraction between of molecules having a significant dipole moments.
