Jh. Clark et al., MEDIUM CONTROL IN A COMPETITIVE HYDROGEN-BONDING SYSTEM, Spectrochimica acta. Part A: Molecular spectroscopy, 50(5), 1994, pp. 891-896
Infrared spectroscopic analysis of solutions containing 4-hydroxyaceto
phenone (HAP) and the model surfactant 2-(2-hexyloxyethoxy)ethanol (HO
EE) reveal a medium dependent hydrogen bonding competition between hom
omolecular association ([HAP]n + [HOEE]n) and heteromolecular associat
ion ([HAP-HOEE]n) with the former being favoured by low polarity solve
nts.
