The two characteristic H-bonded OH stretching bands of α-monoalkyl-ω-hydroxyorigo(oxyethylene)s, (CnEm), have been observed at about 3460 and 3330 cm−1 in the liquid state; the former is due to the localized OH···O hydrogen bonds and the latter, the OH···OH···O hydrogen bonds of chain structures. The two bands were applied to the investigation of the phase transition process from the liquid to the solid for C12E3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
