Abstract
The hydrogen bond complexes involving phenol and carbonyl oxygen of 2- and 2,6-substituted fuchsones I and II have been studied by infrared spectroscopy in tetrachlorethylene solution. Basicities expressed as complexation enthalpies, frequency shifts and integrated intensities of the ν(OH) stretching vibrations are reported. A linear relationship was found between the frequency shift and the hydrogen bond energy. Statistical analysis of linear free energy relationships for fuchsones I and II proved the significancy of steric factor in transmission of electronic substituent effect.
