The dielectric and thermal behavior of some n-ALKYL bromides in the solid state

The dielectric constant is a very useful tool for studying molecular freedom and phase changes in organic polar compounds. Its magnitude can be used as an indication of the degree of orientational freedom of molecules in both liquid and solid phases. Thermal behavior is another useful tool, which, when combined with dielectric constant data, can often be helpful in describing phase changes in terms of crystalline structure and orientational freedom of dipoles in solids.
