Solvent Effects on Hydrogen Bonding between Ethyl Methacrylate and 1-Butanol

The hydrogen bonding between ethyl methacrylate dissolved in 1-butanol in inert solvents viz., n-heptane, carbon tetrachloride and benzene has been studied using FTIR spectroscopy. Utilizing Nash method the formation constant of the 1:1 complexes has been calculated. The formation constant and free energy change values vary with the solvents are observed in the present study confirms the solvent environment may affect the strength of intermolecular hydrogen bond formation between free hydroxyl group of 1-butanol and the carbonyl group of ethyl methacrylate.
