Abstract
Hydrogen bonded complexes of fluoroalcohols with oxygen-containing bases like dimethyl ether and alkanols have been investigated in argon matrices, in CCl 4 solutions and in the gas phase. The increase of the proton donor capacities with succesive substitution of fluorine atoms into the alkyl group of alcohols is indicated by a strong increase of the shift Δν of the OH stretching frequency in the complexes. For alkanols as acceptors, an increase of Δν is observed along the series CH 3OH, CH 3CH 2OH, (CH 3) 2CHOH, and (CH 3) 3CHOH. The frequency shifts Δν increase as one passes from the gas phase to CCl 4 solutions and argon matrices.
