Abstract

The structural properties of liquid N-methyl pyrrolidone have been investigated by combining energy dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments and molecular dynamics simulations with generalized AMBER force field. A very good agreement between theoretical and experimental diffraction patterns was achieved. The analysis of the radial distribution functions shows that the methyl-carbonyl H-bond network observed in the crystal structure is partly preserved in the liquid structure.
