The dielectric relaxation processes in phenolic Mannich bases have been investigated by measuring the dielectric permittivity and loss in dilute solutions of benzene at three different microwave frequencies at 30deg;, 45deg;, and 60thinsp;deg;C. Results are analyzed in terms of Colendash;Cole arc plots and two distinct relaxation times. The results establish the intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the ndash;OH group. The overall molecular relaxation appears to be the predominant mechanism in these substituted phenols. Activation parameters have been calculated assuming dielectric relaxation to be an Eyringhyphen;type rate process.
