Abstract
The free energies and heats and entropies of formation of hydrogen bonds between several pairs of compounds in carbon tetrachloride solution have been calculated from infrared spectra. Efforts have been made to correlate the strengths of some of these bonds with dyeing phenomena. Interpretations are suggested for the variations in the strengths of bonds in terms of electronic shifts in the participating molecules. Correlation of the frequency shifts and changes in intensity of the bands which accompany hydrogen bond formation with the strengths of the bonds formed is also attempted.
