Abstract

The thermophysical parameters, viz. excess molar volume VE, ultrasonic speed u, viscosity η and spectroscopic parameters, viz. IR and 1H NMR have been measured for the mixtures of pyrrolidin-2-one and isomeric butanediol (1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4- and 2,3-BTD) over the whole composition range at 308.15 K. Results indicate that intermolecular interactions for different mixtures increase in the order: 2,3-BTD < 1,2-BTD < 1,3-BTD < 1,4-BTD. The partial and apparent molar quantities QiE, isentropic compressibility KSE, excess viscosity ηE and excess Gibbs free energies of activation for viscous flow ΔaG∗E have also been estimated and analyzed. The spectroscopic measurements (IR and 1H NMR) confirm that the interaction between unlike molecules takes place through hydroxyl groups of isomeric butanediol. A good agreement is obtained between excess quantities and spectroscopic data.

Introduction

Polyhydroxy compounds have number of applications in biochemical research because of there connection to biological system. These compounds are used as fogging agent in theatrical productions and are widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, petroleum, textile and other industries. More attention has been paid to study the physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of aqueous solution of polyhydroxy compounds. Thermophysical characterization of a system by experimental determination of properties such as excess molar volume, ultrasonic speed, viscosity and their composition variation are important tools to gain insight into solute-solvent interactions and packing effects of solute molecule in the stabilization/destabilization of a system [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. Czechowski et al. [9] and Nakanishi et al. [10] obtained excess molar volume of aqueous solution of different diols at different temperatures. Iloukhani and Bahram [11] carried out excess and partial molar volume measurements of aqueous solutions of 1,2-alkanediols at different temperatures. The results have been explained in terms of dissociation of the self-associated diol molecules and the formation of the aggregates between unlike molecules. The density and viscosity data of aqueous solutions of isomeric butanediol and poly(ethylene glycol)s have been reported by Teja and co-workers [12], [13]. Palepu and co-workers [14], [15] studied various properties of aqueous solutions of isomeric butanediol in order to analyze the interactions of butanediols with water in terms of placement of hydroxyl groups in isomeric butanediol molecules. Recently, George and Sastry [16] reported densities, viscosities, speed of sound and relative permittivities for (water + alkanediols) at different temperatures.

The study of isomeric butanediol (BTD) in non-aqueous media is also important from a fundamental point of view since it allows us to examine in detail the influence of spacing of the –OH groups on the thermodynamic properties of these compounds. In the present work, pyrrolidin-2-one (PY) is selected as a non-aqueous medium. The γ-butyrolactam (n = 5), i.e. PY is one of the cyclic amide which possess the basic (CO) and acidic (NH) group, in addition to high dipole moment. Cyclic amides are interesting compounds in which the nitrogen and carbon of a peptide bond are linked by a ring composed of methylene groups. These amide functional groups [17], [18], [19], [20] are structural part of peptide, polypeptide and proteins and constitute an important tool in the interpretation of numerous problems of molecular biology.

The excess molar volumes VE, ultrasonic speed u, viscosity η and 1H NMR and IR spectra have been measured for liquid binary mixtures of pyrrolidin-2-one and isomeric butanediol at 308.15 K temperature. The partial and apparent molar quantities QiE, isentropic compressibility KSE, excess viscosity ηE, excess Gibbs free energies of activation for viscous flow ΔaG∗E and deviation in 1H NMR chemical shift δE have been analyzed for the same mixtures. The aim of the work is to measure new data and to provide results for the characterization of the effect of placement of hydroxyl groups in BTD on the thermodynamic properties of PY. The results have been compared with aqueous based systems of diols and analyzed.

Materials

Pyrrolidin-2-one (>99 GC) and 1,2-butanediol (>98 GC) were obtained from Fluka and 1,3-butanediol (>99 GC), 1,4-butanediol (>99 GC) and 2,3-butanediol (>98 GC) were supplied by Merck. Pyrrolidin-2-one was dried with CaO and fractionally distilled as described elsewhere [21]. Diols were used as received. Prior to use, all the chemicals were stored over molecular sieves to remove any traces of water. The water impurity in the chemicals was as low as <0.005%. The purity of all the chemicals was

Results and discussions

Excess molar volumes VE (cm3 · mol−1), ultrasonic speed u (m · s−1) and the absolute dynamic viscosities η (mPa · s) have been measured experimentally for the mixtures of pyrrolidin-2-one with isomeric butanediol at 308.15 K. The excess molar isentropic compressibilities KSE, deviation in ultrasonic speed uD, excess viscosity ηE and excess Gibbs free energies of activation for viscous flow, ΔaG∗E, were determined using the equationKSE=KS-KSid,where KSid can be expressed as follows:KSid=ixiKS,i+TAP,i

      The existence of etherial oxygen augments the ability of –OH group of the same molecule to form hydrogen bonds with the other unlike molecules. 2-Pyrrolidinone (2-Pyrrol) is a highly polar aprotic solvent with low volatility extensively used in the field of applied chemistry, industry and biochemical processes [8,9]. 2-Pyrrolidinone, a five-member cyclic amide can serve as a simple model to study the dynamics of hydrogen bonded molecular systems.

      The structure of 2-pyrrolidone is also of great interest, since its functional amide groups are an integral part of peptides, polypeptides and proteins, and its self-association serves as a model for hydrogen bonding in nucleic acid amides. These aspects represent an important tool in the interpretation of many problems in molecular biology [5]. Pure pyrrolidone is capable of strong self-association through the Hbond (>CO ··· HN) [6–10] but there are different opinions about the nature of this process.
