Abstract
IR-spectroscopy data show that the intramolecular H-bond in alcohols with the general formula XCH2CH2OH (X = F, Cl, Br) in a solution is mainly of a nonspecific nature. Molecules of 2-haloethanol form three-center complexes with an external H-bond acceptor. The intramolecular component of their bifurcated bond causes a stronger spectroscopic effect as compared to the two-center H-bond of ethanol or 1-propanol.
