title: Frequency of OH in solutions of n-butanol in carbon tetrachloride: effect of dilution.
abstract: It is noted that the 1 <-- 0 transition for nuOH shows a blue shift as the relative concentration of n-butanol in a CCl4-n-butanol is reduced. The magnitude of the shift decreases for the 2 <-- 0 transition and there is almost no shift for the 3 <-- 0 transition. These observations are consistent with the observed red shift [Y. Mizugai, F. Takimoto, M. Katayama, Chem. Phys. Lett. 76 (1980) 615] on dilution for the 5 <-- 0 transition in n-butanol. The observations have been interpreted on the basis of formation of O-H....Cl hydrogen bond.
