Abstract
Solvated in propylene carbonate, viscous phenol is studied using dielectric spectroscopy and shear rheology. In addition, several oxygen-17 and deuteron nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques are applied to specifically isotope labeled equimolar mixtures. Quantum chemical calculations are used to check the electrical field gradient at phenol's oxygen site. The chosen combination of NMR methods facilitates the selective examination of potentially hydrogen-bond related contributions as well as those dominated by the structural relaxation. Taken together the present results for phenol in equimolar mixtures with the van der Waals liquid propylene carbonate provide evidence for the existence of a very weak Debye-like process that originates from ringlike supramolecular associates.

Abstract
In this paper, we have examined a series of phenyl-substituted primary monohydroxy alcohols (phenyl alcohols, PhAs), from ethanol to hexanol by means of dielectric and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies supported by the mechanical investigations. The combination of both dielectric and mechanical data allows calculation of the energy barrier, Ea, for dissociation by the Rubinstein approach developed to describe the dynamical properties of self-assembling macromolecules. It was observed that the determined activation energy remains constant, |Ea,RM| ∼ 12.9-14.2 kJ mol-1, regardless of the molecular weight of the examined material. Surprisingly, the obtained values agree very well with Ea of the dissociation process determined from the FTIR data analysed within the van't Hoff relationship, where Ea,vH ∼ 9.13-13.64 kJ mol-1. Thus, the observed agreement between Ea determined by both applied approaches clearly implies that in the case of the examined series of PhAs, the dielectric Debye-like process is governed by the association-dissociation phenomenon as proposed by the transient chain model.

Abstract
We present a dielectric and shear mechanical study of 1-propanol and three phenylpropanols. Contrary to other monoalcohols, the phenylpropanols do not show a bimodal behavior in their dielectric response, but instead show a single, rather narrow process. Combined dielectric and light scattering spectra (Böhmer, T.; et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2019, 123, 10959) have shown that this single peak may be separated into a self- and a cross-correlation part, thus indicating that phenylpropanols do display features originating from hydrogen-bonded structures. The shear mechanical spectra support that interpretation, demonstrating a subtle, yet clear, low-frequency polymer-like mode, similar to what is found in other monoalcohols. An analysis of the characteristic time scales found in the spectra shows that shear alpha relaxation is faster than the dielectric alpha and that time scale separation of the dielectric Debye and alpha processes is temperature independent and nearly identical in all the phenylpropanols.

Abstract
In this paper, the steric hindrance effect related to the presence of either a cyclic or aromatic ring on the self-association process in the series of monohydroxy alcohols (MAs), from cyclohexanemethanol to 4-cyclohexyl-1-butanol and from benzyl alcohol to 4-phenyl-1-butanol, was studied using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS) and the Pendant Drop (PD) methods. Based on FTIR results, it was shown that phenyl alcohol (PhA) and cyclohexyl alcohol (CA) derivatives reveal substantial differences in the association degree, the activation energy of dissociation, and the homogeneity of supramolecular nanoassociates suggesting that the phenyl ring exerts a stronger steric impact on the self-assembling of molecules than cyclohexyl one. Additionally, XRD data revealed that phenyl moiety introduces more heterogeneity in the organization of molecules compared to the cyclic one. The changes in the self-association process of alcohols were also reflected in differences in the molecular dynamics of the H-bonded aggregates, as well as in the Kirkwood factor, defining the long-range correlation between dipoles, which were slightly higher for CAs with respect to those determined for PhAs. Unexpectedly it was also found that the surface layers of PhAs were more organized than those formed by CAs. Thus, these findings provided insight into the impact of aromaticity on the self-assembly process, H-bonding pattern, supramolecular structure, and intermolecular dynamics of the studied alcohols.

Abstract
We examined a series of structurally related glass-forming liquids in which a phenothiazine-based tricyclic core (PTZ) was modified by attaching n-alkyl chains of different lengths (n = 4, 8, 10). We systematically disentangled the impact of chemical structure modification on the intermolecular organization and molecular dynamics probed by broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS). X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns evidenced that all PTZ-derivatives are not 'ordinary' liquids and form nanoscale clusters. The chain length has a decisive impact on properties, exerting a plasticizing effect on the dynamics. Its elongation decreases glass transition temperature with slight impact on fragility. The increase in the medium-range order was manifested as a broadening of the dielectric loss peak reflected in the lower value of stretching parameter βKWW. A disagreement with the behavior observed for non-associating liquids was found as a deviation from the anti-correlation between the value of βKWW and the relaxation strength of the α-process. Besides, to explain the broadening of loss peak in PTZ with the longest (decyl) chain a slow Debye process was postulated. In contrast, the sample with the shortest alkyl chain and a less complex structure with predominant supramolecular assembly through π-π stacking exhibits no clear Debye-mode fingerprints. The possible reasons are also discussed.

Abstract
Herein, we investigated the molecular dynamics as well as intramolecular interactions in two primary monohydroxy alcohols (MA), 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2EHOH) and n-butanol (nBOH), by means of broad-band dielectric (BDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The modeling data obtained from dielectric studies within the Rubinstein approach [ Macromolecules 2013, 46, 7525-7541] originally developed to describe the dynamical properties of self-assembling macromolecules allowed us to calculate the energy barrier (Ea) of dissociation from the temperature dependences of relaxation times of Debye and structural processes. We found Ea ∼ 19.4 ± 0.8 and 5.3 ± 0.4 kJ/mol for the former and latter systems, respectively. On the other hand, FTIR data analyzed within the van't Hoff relationship yielded the energy barriers for dissociation Ea ∼ 20.3 ± 2.1 and 12.4 ± 1.6 kJ/mol for 2EHOH and nBOH, respectively. Hence, there was almost a perfect agreement between the values of Ea estimated from dielectric and FTIR studies for the 2EHOH, while some notable discrepancy was noted for the second alcohol. A quite significant difference in the activation barrier of dissociation indicates that there are probably supramolecular clusters of varying geometry or a ring-chain-like equilibrium is strongly affected in both alcohols. Nevertheless, our analysis showed that the association/dissociation processes undergoing within nanoassociates are one of the main factors underlying the molecular origin of the Debye process, supporting the transient chain model.

Abstract
Dielectric studies under various temperature (T) and pressure (p) conditions on five active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with antifungal properties-itraconazole (ITZ), posaconazole (POS), terconazole (TER), ketoconazole (KET), and fluconazole (FLU)-were carried out. We have thoroughly studied the connection between the pressure coefficient of the glass transition temperature (dTg/dp) and the activation volume of both relaxation modes (ΔVα, ΔVδ/α') with respect to the molecular weight (Mw) or molar volume (Vm) in these systems. Besides, high pressure data revealed that the time scale separation between α- and δ- or α'-processes increases with pressure in ITZ and TER. What is more, the activation entropy, which is a measure of cooperativity, calculated from the Eyring model for the secondary (β)-relaxation in ITZ and POS, increased and decreased, respectively, in the compressed samples. To understand these peculiar results, we have carried out X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements on the pressure-densified glasses and found that pressure may induce frustration in molecular organization and destroy the medium-range order while enhancing the short-range correlations between molecules. This finding allowed us to conclude that varying molecular spatial arrangement is responsible for the extraordinary dynamical behavior of ITZ, POS, and TER at high pressure.

Abstract
In this paper, we have analyzed structural, thermal, and dynamical properties of four azole antifungals: itraconazole (ITZ), posaconazole (POS), terconazole (TER) and ketoconazole (KET), differing mainly in the length of the rod-like backbone and slightly in side groups. Our investigations clearly demonstrated that the changes in the chemical structure result in a different ability to form the medium-range order (MRO) and variation in thermal and dynamical properties of these pharmaceuticals. Direct comparison of the diffractograms collected for glassy and crystalline materials indicated that the MRO observed in the former phases is related to maintaining the local molecular arrangement of the crystal structure. Moreover, it was shown that once the MRO-related diffraction peaks appear, additional mobility (δ- or α' relaxation), slower than the structural (α)-process, is also detected in dielectric spectra. This new mode is connected to the motions within supramolecular nanoaggregates. Detailed analysis of dielectric and calorimetric data also revealed that the variation in the internal structure and MRO of the examined pharmaceuticals have an impact on the glass transition temperature (Tg) shape of the α-process, isobaric fragility, molecular dynamics in the glassy state and number of dynamically correlated molecules. These findings could be helpful in an understanding the influence of different types of intermolecular MRO on the properties of substances having a similar chemical backbone.

Abstract
The X-ray scattering intensities (I(k)) of linear alkanols OH(CH2)n-1CH3 obtained from experiments (methanol to 1-undecanol) and computer simulations (methanol to 1-nonanol) of different force field models are comparatively studied particularly in order to explain the origin and the properties of the scattering pre-peak in the k-vector range 0.3-1 Å-1. The experimental I(k) values show two apparent features: the pre-peak position kP decreases with increasing n, and more intriguingly, the amplitude AP goes through a maximum at 1-butanol (n = 4). The first feature is well reproduced by all force-field models, while the second shows strong model dependence. The simulations reveal various shapes of clusters of the hydroxyl head-group from n>2. kP is directly related to the size of the meta-objects corresponding to such clusters surrounded by their alkyl tails. The explanation of the AP turnover at n = 4 is more involved in terms of cancellations of atom-atom structure factor S(k) contributions related to domain ordering. The flexibility of the alkyl tails tends to reduce the cross contributions, thus revealing the crucial importance of this parameter in the models. Force fields with all-atom representation are less successful in reproducing the pre-peak features for smaller alkanols, n<6, possibly because they blur the charge ordering process since all atoms bear partial charges. The analysis clearly shows that it is not possible to obtain a model-free explanation of the features of I(k).

Abstract
Broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), combined with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques, was used to study the dynamics of the primary (α) relaxation process and slow mode (SM), as well as structural properties and intermolecular interactions, in the methyl-, isopropyl-, hexyl-, and benzyl derivative of a well-known pharmaceutical, ibuprofen (IBU). Unexpectedly, the XRD and FTIR methods revealed the formation of medium-range ordering together with some molecular organization, which probably leads to the creation of small aggregates at the scale of several microns at lower temperatures. Moreover, high pressure dielectric experiments revealed that the SM (observed in the ambient pressure data) is not detected in the loss spectra of compressed IBU esters, which is consistent with the results reported previously for propylene carbonate and dioxolane derivatives. This finding can be interpreted as connected to either the comparable time scale of the structural dynamics and slow mode or suppression of the motions responsible for the latter process at elevated pressure. Additionally, it was found that the pressure coefficient of the glass transition temperature (dTg/dp) and activation volume (ΔV) change with molecular weight (Mw) in a non-monotonic way. It might be related to various chemical structures, conformations, and intermolecular interactions, as well as different architecture of supramolecular aggregates in the investigated compounds.

Abstract
Evidence for the existence of two glass transitions is found in binary mixtures of monohydroxy alcohols with an aprotic alkyl halide by means of dielectric spectroscopy and, markedly, also shear rheology. In the mechanical data, an enormous separation of two components becomes obvious for suitable compositions. The observation of bimodal motional heterogeneity is possible despite the fact that the glass transition temperatures of these substances differ by only 40 K. Obviously, the hydrogen-bond driven formation of supramolecular structures in one of the mixture components facilitates the emergence of dynamic contrast which for other binary liquids was so far only observed in the presence of much larger glass transition temperature differences.

Abstract
In this paper, we applied broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) to investigate the molecular dynamics of three 4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane derivatives (MD) whose chemical structures differ in the length of non-polar alkyl side chains.
