Abstract

Abstract: Studies of the absorption spectrum of phenol blue (1) in solvent mixtures containing hydrogen-bond acceptors and donors show that the position of the absorption maximum of the dye is very responsive to hydrogen bonding. The effect of solvent OH groups resembles an exaggerated solvent effect; there is no evidence for formation of a discrete hydrogen-bonded complex between dye and donor. A good correlation was ...
