Abstract
Aromaticity of the ring of variously substituted phenols in their H-bonded complexes with various bases was a subject of analysis based on 664 geometries retrieved from CSD and by use of the aromaticity index HOMA. GEO and EN, the components of the HOMA index, describing a decrease of aromaticity due to an increase of bond alternation (GEO term) and bond elongation (EN term), were also studied. There is an approximate monotonic dependence of HOMA and GEO on the H-bond strength estimated by the C-O bond length of the hydroxyl group in phenols.
