Abstract

Association behavior of mono, di and tri-hydric alcohols having three carbon skeleton in a straight chain was studied based on surface tension (γ) data, EÖTVÖS constants (k), order of association (x), hydrogen bond acceptor (H_a)-donor (H_d) counts and Trouton’s rule. It is to be understood from the title that alcohols used were 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol and glycerol.
