Calculation and properties of the
correlation dimension of alkanes based on molecular scattering curves
Abstract
For a series of n-alkanes C2H6
... C40H82 was calculated the correlation dimension (D2)
on the basis of molecular scattering curves. It was found that D2
varies in the range 1.10–1.22. By increasing the total number of atoms
correlation dimension increases and then stabilizes. The effect of the
replacement of hydrogen atoms by halogen atoms, as well as the change in the
degree of hybridization of carbon atoms by D2, was studied. A correlation
dimension has been identified with other fractal characteristics of the
molecules.
Key words: correlation dimension, alkanes,
molecular scattering.
