✦ Synopsis


Frequency shifts of the C-H stretching vibrations ( vCH ) of 1,4dioxane (DX) and dimetltylsulfoxide in aqueous solutions were observed as a function of concentration using a dual-beam difference Raman apparatus. A nonlinear positive increase of the shift was observed upon dilution for the vcw modes of DX, similar to the case of alcohol/water mixtures, while negative and zero shifts were observed for its C-O and C-C stretching modes, respectively. The shift of the vcn mode is not the secondaty effect arising from a change in hydrogen bonding at oxygen. The Au, versus & curve of the ucn mode exhibited a deep minimum around x1=0.08, indicating the formation of molecular assemblies of DX with the C-H groups inside in the concentration region of 0.08 <~*<0.5 and its collapse into molecular dispersion at & <0.08. The transfer shift from HZ0 to D1O was significantly smaller for DX than for acetone and acotonitrile.
