Abstract
The monohydroxy alcohol 2-ethyl-1-hexanol mixed with the halogen-substituted alkyl halides 2-ethyl-1-hexyl chloride and 2-ethyl-1-hexyl bromide was studied using synchrotron-based x-ray scattering. In the diffraction patterns, an oxygen-related prepeak appears. The concentration dependence of its intensity, shape, and position indicates that the formation of the hydrogen-bonded associates of monohydroxy alcohols is largely hindered by the halogen alkane admixture. Using dielectric spectroscopy and high-resolution rheology on the same liquid mixtures, it is shown that these structural features are correlated with the relaxation mechanisms giving rise to supramolecular low-frequency dynamics.
