Abstract

AbstractThe hydrogen-bonded interactions of chloral hydrate and halide ions have been investigated conductometrically at 25.00 °C in aqueous solutions. In spite of the strong competing effect of water, the 1:1 associates have relatively high stability constants, in the order of chloride > bromide > fluoride ≃ iodide. The rather low stability of the fluoride:chloral hydrate associate can be explained by the strong hydration of the small fluoride ion. Although the 1:1 association dominates, other stoichiometries cannot be excluded; the cations and the ionic strength seem to have no effect.
