Abstract
The frequency shift of methanolic OH stretching bands by different nonpolar solvents at different temperatures can be described quantitatively by an equation proposed recently relating it to the temperature dependence of van der Waals interactions. The method shows that methanolic OH groups are surrounded by about 40% more solvent molecules than t-butanol OH groups. Frequency shifts of CH3OH by binary solvent mixtures demonstrate an averaged potential with small preference of the solvent with higher interaction.Keywords
