The dielectric properties of binary mixtures of benzylamine-1,2,6-hexantriol mixtures at different volume fractions of 1,2,6-hexanetriol have been measured using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique in the frequency range of 10 MHz to 30 GHz. Complex permittivity spectra were fitted using Havriliak–Negami equation. By using least square fit method the dielectric parameters such as static dielectric constant (ε0), dielectric constant at high frequency (ε∞), relaxation time τ (ps) and relaxation distribution parameter (β) were extracted from complex permittivity spectra at 25∘C. The intramolecular interaction of different molecules has been discussed using the Kirkwood correlation factor, Bruggeman factor. The Kirkwood correlation factor (gf) and effective Kirkwood correlation factor (geff) indicate the dipole ordering of the binary mixtures.
