The method shows that methanolic OH groups are surrounded by about 40% more solvent molecules than t-butanol OH groups.Frequency shifts of CH3OH by binary solvent mixtures demonstrate an averaged potential with small preference of the solvent with higher interaction.
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.
