Abstract
Infrared measurements show that fluorocarbons containing higher halogens are able to open O—H---O, N—H---N, S—H---S, N—H---O=C, type hydrogen bonds. This is probably due to a competitive mechanism of association consisting in the formation of donor–acceptor complexes. It is suggested that the breaking or perturbation of hydrogen bonds by this mechanism is of importance for the explanation of the anesthetic activity of these compounds.Keywords
