Popis: The apparent dipole moments (μ) of 2-methoxyethanol (C 1 E 1 ), 2-ethoxyethanol (C 2 E 1 ), 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-ethanol (C 1 E 2 ), and 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol (C 2 E 2 ) were determined in heptane solutions for the mole fraction range of 0 < x < 0.03 at T = 298.15 K. To calculate μ values the molar volumes for these solutions and the refractive indices of the pure components were determined at T=298.15K. FT-IR spectra for these solutions were also measured at T = 298 K. The conformations of these compounds and that of the dimer of C 1 E 1 were predicted by ab initio calculations. In order to compare the calculated results with experimental, a statistical calculation was performed. The calculated conformers of the isolated molecules correlated well with the experimental results of the dipole moment and the IR spectra.
