title: Solvent effects on OH stretching frequencies for 1-arylallyl alcohols.
abstract: A series of 1-arylallyl alcohols were prepared and its OH stretching frequencies measured in 20 different non-HBD solvents at room temperature. It is noticed that the observed stretching bands were highly sensitive to the nature of the solvents. Multiple parameter equations were applied to investigate the solvent effects on the O-H stretching frequency. The most significant solvent parameters were the nucleophilicity measuring parameter (B) and Gutmann donor number (DN), whilst the electrophilicity measuring parameter (E) is not significant.
