RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The IR spectroscopic determination of basicities12 in aprotic CCl4 is based on the Badger-Bauer relationship13, 14, whose general applicability for appropriately chosen systems was confirmed1S-17. The IR absorption spectra of hydrogen bonds of phenol interacting with alcohols or ethers in CCI4 have been shown to reflect proton acceptor ability of alcoholic or etheral oxygen12, 18, 19. The solvation effects in ...
