Geometrical behavior of hydrogen bonding patterns in the alpha-dodecyl-omega-hydroxy-tris(oxyethylene)-water system monitored by near infrared spectroscopy.
Changes in the geometry of hydrogen bonding patterns in the alpha-dodecyl-omega-hydroxy-tris(oxyethylene) (C(12)E(3))-water system have been investigated by near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. In the 5,300-4,600 cm(-1) region, the characteristic bands for C(12)E(3) and water can be separately investigated, since the combination bands of the OH stretching and its COH bending of alcohols are observed at 5,000-4,650 cm(-1), whereas the combination bands of the OH stretching and its HOH bending of water, at 5,300-5,000 cm(-1). The NIR result has revealed that the addition of water to C(12)E(3) promotes the formation of the OHcdots, three dots, centeredOHcdots, three dots, centeredO hydrogen bonds.
