FT-IR of unsaturated β-amino acids in different solvents systems

FT-IR study on interactions between medroxyprogesterone acetate and solvent in CHCl₃/cyclo-C6H₁₂ and CCl₄/cyclo-C6H₁₂ binary solvent systems

The intermolecular interactions between medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and CHCl(3) and CCl(4) solvent in CHCl(3)/cyclo-C(6)H(12) and CCl(4)/cyclo-C(6)H(12) binary solvent systems have been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The experimental results showed that there are hydrogen bonding interactions between oxygen atoms of all carbonyl groups in MPA and hydrogen atom of CHCl(3) so as to form 1:3 complex of MPA with CHCl(3) and produce three new absorption bands at 1728.9-1736.1, 1712.7-1717.4 and 1661.9-1673.8 cm(-1), respectively. And, 1:1 complex of MPA with CCl(4) is formed in CCl(4)/cyclo-C(6)H(12) binary solvent as a result of hydrogen bonding interaction between C3 carbonyl group and empty d-orbital in chlorine atom of CCl(4) leading to producing new absorption band at 1673.2-1674.2 cm(-1). However, all free carbonyl and associated carbonyl stretching vibrations of MPA in CHCl(3)/cyclo-C(6)H(12) and CCl(4)/cyclo-C(6)H(12) binary solvent systems shift to lower wavenumbers with the increasing of volume fraction of CHCl(3) and CCl(4) in binary solvent systems owing to the dipole-dipole interaction and the dipole-induced dipole interaction between MPA and solvents.

FTIR Study of Molecular Interaction in Butyl Methacrylate–Organic Solvents Mixtures

FTIR spectroscopic study of butyl methacrylate (BMA) in different pure organic solvents were undertaken to investigate the solute–solvent interactions. The frequency of carbonyl stretching vibration ν(C=O) of BMA is correlated with the solvent properties such as the KBM parameter, the solvent acceptor number (AN), and the linear salvation energy relationships (LSER). The solvent-induced stretching vibration frequency shifts showed a better correlation with LSER parameters than AN. While no linear correlation between dielectric constants and the frequencies showed that the KBM relationship was unsuitable for this molecule. Also the solvent effect on the strength of hydrogen bond formation between free OH group of 1-butanol and C=O group of BMA is discussed in terms of local specific interaction between the solute and solvent.

New thermochemical parameter for describing solvent effects on IR stretching vibration frequencies. Communication 2. Assessment of cooperativity effects

Solvent effects on O-H stretching vibration frequency of methanol in hydrogen bond complexes with different bases, CH3OH...B, have been investigated by FTIR spectroscopy. Using chloroform as a solvent results in strengthening of CH3OH...B hydrogen bonding due to cooperativity between CH3OH...B and Cl3CH...CH3OH bonds. A method is proposed for quantifying the hydrogen bond cooperativity effect. The determined cooperativity factors take into account all specific interactions of the solute in proton-donor solvents. In addition, a method of estimation of cooperativity factors Ab and AOX in system (CH3OH)2...B is proposed. It is demonstrated that in such systems, the cooperativity factor of the OH...B bond decreases and that of the OH...O bond increases with increasing the acceptor strength of the base B. The obtained results are in a good agreement with the data obtained previously from matrix-isolation FTIR spectroscopy.

New thermochemical parameter for describing solvent effects on IR stretching vibration frequencies. Communication 1. Assessment of van der Waals interactions

Solvent effects on OH stretching vibrations in several complexes with hydrogen bonding have been investigated by FTIR spectroscopy. To assess the influence of van der Waals (vdW) interactions on frequency shifts, a new parameter of solvent, square root deltacavhS, is proposed. This parameter has been derived from equations describing enthalpy of non-specific solvation. Linear correlation was established between the OH frequency shift (with respect to the gas phase) and parameter square root deltacavhS for a series of complexes of aliphatic alcohols with standard proton acceptors. Linear correlations with square root deltacavhS were also observed for a series of "free" O-H and also C=O, P=O, S=O and C-Br stretching vibrations. A new method is proposed for estimating the gas-phase stretching frequency from IR spectra of solutions. In addition, frequencies of "free" X-H groups in neat bases were deduced from the experimental data.
