T. Kuc et al., Solvent effect on the formation and proton transfer equilibria in the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol-triethylamine system, J MOL LIQ, 89(1-3), 2000, pp. 147-158
The formation constants and dipole moments of hydrogen-bonded complexes of
1:1 and 2:1 stoichiometry formed between 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and triethyl
amine are determined in various solvents. The solvent effect on formation a
nd proton transfer equilibria is discussed in terms of continuum dielectric
models and the Swain et al acidity (A) parameter of the solvent. The coope
rative hydrogen-bonding effects of the second phenol molecule and the hydro
gen-donating (electron-accepting) effect of the solvent molecules are demon
strated. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
