Inside out Approach to Rotator State in Hydrogen-Bonded System-Experimental and Theoretical Cross-Examination in n-Octanol.

ABSTRACT: The experimental and theoretical description of premelting behavior is one of the most challenging tasks in contemporary material science. In this paper, n-octanol was studied using a multi-method approach to investigate it at macroscopic and molecular levels. The experimental infrared (IR) spectra were collected in the solid state and liquid phase at temperature range from -84∘C to -15 ∘C to detect temperature-related indicators of pretransitional phenomena. Next, the nonlinear dielectric effect (NDE) was measured at various temperatures (from -30 ∘C to -15 ∘C) to provide insight into macroscopic effects of premelting. As a result, a two-step mechanism of premelting in n-octanol was established based on experimental data. It was postulated that it consists of a rotator state formation fol
