Thermodynamic functions for the hydrogen bonded complexes of guaiacol with triethylamine and dimethylformamide in cyclohexane, benzene, and CC14 solvents were determined by infrared spectroscopy. Heats of solution at infinite dilution for phenol, guaiacol, Me2S0,pyridine, and dimethylformamide were determined calorimetrically. Previously reported enthalpies of complex formation for phenol and guaiacol with MezSO and pyridine in cyclohexane, CC14, benzene, CS2,1,2-dichloroethane,and chloroform solvents were combined with the heat of solution data to calculate transfer enthalpies for acid, base, and complex between various solvent pairs.

DMF and TEA in the solvents of this study are given in Table IV. Enthalpies previously r e p ~ r t e d ~for ~ ' ~the ~~' pyridine and MezSO complexes with phenol and guaiacol are given in Table 11. According to ESP, pyridine interacts with CCl,, benzene, and o-dichlorobenzene and TEA interacts with CCl, but not with aromatic solvent^.^ ESP workers have also suggested that oxygen containing proton acceptors form aggregates in cyclohexane which solvate the adduct causing the enthalpy of hydrogen bond formation to be higher in cyclohexane than in CC14.3,13,18 According to Drago and Nozari3 neither TEA nor pyridine aggregate significantly in cyclohexane but because of their interaction with CC14, the enthalpy of complex formation with these bases is lower in CC14 than in cyclohexane. Several investigator^^^-^^ have proposed an interaction of the phenolic hydroxyl proton with C C 4 to account for differences found in enthalpies determined in CC4 and other solvents. Because specific interaction of the hydroxyl hydrogen with the solvent is minimized by the intramolecular bond of guaiacol, the bulk of the solvent effects in guaiacol systems should be due to interactions of the solvent with base, adduct, or both. The data in Table V, show that the enthalpy is larger for the MezSO and DMF complexes in cyclohexane than in CC4.

oxygen containing donors about the complex could cause the enthalpy in cyclohexane to be larger than that in CC14. If aggregation of DMF occurs only in cyclohexane and if other solvent effects are not thermodynamically significant, the enthalpy of complex formation with DMF should be nearly the same in benzene and CC14 Within error limits, the enthalpies are the same in these latter two solvents. If aggregation of MezSO in cyclohexane is to be accepted, the solvation of MezSO, its adduct, or both by benzene must be different from that of DMF. Only for DMF in cyclohexane and in the comparison of TEA complexes in benzene and CC4do the predided base interactions of ESP seem to be supported. Thus other solvation effects must be supposed in order to provide a generally satisfactory treatment for these complexes. In order to attempt to identify these effects, partial molar heats of solution were determined and combined with existing literature values so that enthalpies of transfer for the various complexes could be calculated. The following thermodynamic cycle was used to calculate the transfer enthalpies from solvent I to solvent 11. A(1)

Estimated error.

Table VI lists the enthalpies of transfer of acid, base, and adduct from cyclohexane to all other solvents. These transfer enthalpies relate the solvation of each species in the different solvents to that in the relatively inert cyclohexane. Thus Table VI is arranged in order of increasing solvation of each species. The relative solvation of the adducts increases in the same order as that of the acid and base. The MezSO complex of guaiacol in 1,2dichloroethane and chloroform is more solvated relative to cyclohexane than the guaiacol-pyridine complex. This effect appears to be due to the solvation of MezSO being greater than that of pyridine in 1,2-dichloroethane and chloroform. In the other three solvents, CSz, CC14, and benzene, the differences in solvation of MezSO and pyridine relative to cyclohexane are not as great as with 1,2-dichloroethane and chloroform. Consequently the difference between the solvation of the guaiacol-pyridine and the guaiacol-Me2S0 complexes is not as pronounced in these three solvents. Similar conclusions may be applied to the phenol complexes for CSz, CC14, benzene, and possibly 1,Zdichloroethane. The phenol-CHC13 data do not conform to this analysis. Relative to cyclohexane any difference between the transfer enthalpies of the phenol-pyridine and guaiacol-pyridine or the phenol-Me2S0 and guaiacol-Me2S0 adducts must be due to differences in solvation of the acid part of the adduct. With the exception of benzene, the enthalpies of transfer of phenol and guaiacol from cyclohexane to the other solvents are nearly equal, however, the transfer enthalpies of the phenol-MepSO and guaiacol-Mea0 adducts differ by more than would be expected if only the phenol and guaiacol transfer enthalpies are considered. The discrepancy can be attributed to the solvation of the guaiacol methoxy group which is freed upon complex formation providing an additional solvation site. Similar considerations apply to the phenol and guaiacol complexes with pyridine. In cyclohexane, CS2,CC4, and chloroform, the value of

-

AH, (phenol) -

z, (guaiacol)

is relatively constant at 4.23 f 0.11 kcal mol-l. If the intramolecular bond of guaiacol effectively squeezes out solvent interaction sites so that the number of sites for solvent interactions are about equal for phenol and guaiacol, the solvation differences between phenol and guaiacol would not be expected to differ greatly in the absence of strong specific effects. For benzene and 1,2dichloroethane, a B ( p h e n o l )- z8(guaiacol) is 3.37 and 3.58 kcal mol-l, respectively. In benzene solvent, this results from the well-known interaction of the phenol hydroxyl proton with the a cloud. Although a similar explanation for 1,2-dichloroethane would seem to be implied, Drago et al.3*5have argued that 1,2-dichloroethane

cannot behave as a basic solvent and have given a molecular interpretation to the unusual solvent effects observed in 1,2-dichloroethane. The heats of solution indicate that pyridine behaves similarly in 1,Zdichloroethane and in benzene. Phenol also appears to behave similarly toward these two solvents. Since both the acid and base show similar trends, 1,2-dichloroethaneappears to behave in an unusual manner, supporting Drago's contention that solvent interactions in 1,2-dichloroethane are nonspecific. Christian et ala6 have proposed that the transfer enthalpy of the adduct should be proportional to the enthalpies of transfer for acid and base

where a is a constant not strongly dependent upon temperature or solvent pairs. Evaluation of a should allow inferences about the physical nature of the adduct and the adduct interaction with the solvent. Weak complexes should have a less than unity because at least one solvent molecule has been lost from each solvation shell about the acid and upon complex formation. An a value in excess of unity indicates a strong complex and a large interaction between the dipole of the complex and the medium. Drago et aL5have argued that one possible reason for the success of ESP is that a slight increase in the nonspecific solvation of the complex could compensate for the loss af solvent molecules when complexation occurs. According to eq 3,a is the slope of the plot of AHc vs. AHA + AHB. The data in Tables 11,111, and IV were used to calculate a for each acid-base pair by least-squares analysis. The least-squares plots were not forced through the origin. This value of a,along with AHAand AHBfrom Table 11,was then used in eq 2 for each acid-base pair to calculate AHc for each possible solvent transfer. Although the trends in solvation of the adduct followed those predicted by eq 3,agreement between AHc found from the cycle and that calculated by eq 3 was no better than about 0.5 kcal mol-l.

The Infrared Spectrum of a Molecular Aggregate. The HCN Dimer Isolated in an Argon Matrix J. Pacansky IBM Research Laboratory, San Jose, California 95 193 (Received June 9, 1977) Publlcation costs assisted by

IBM Research laboratory

Spectral properties of well-defined molecular aggregates are difficult to obtain. A study is presented which demonstrates that a well-defined molecular aggregate may be produced by photochemical methods. This is specifically shown by producing the HCN dimer from the photochemical decomposition of s-tetrazine. The infrared spectrum of the dimer clearly shows that the vibrational bands associated with the hydrogen bond are intensified and broadened in comparison to those not involved in the hydrogen bond.

Introduction The matrix isolation technique has amply demonstrated that spectroscopic properties of isolated molecules may be readily 0btained.l Here, and in subsequent studies, we show that spectroscopic properties of well-defined aggregates of molecules may also be observed utilizing the matrix isolation technique. This is demonstrated by showing the infrared spectrum of the matrix isolated HCN dimer. The unique feature of this spectrum and the manner in which the dimer was formed is that all of the sites in the matrix are occupied by only dimers. The spectra thus clearly reveal the spectroscopic changes which are manifestations of the rather strong hydrogen bond2 (AH= 3.8 kcal/mol) in the dimer. The method used to produce molecular aggregates consist of selecting a system that upon exposure to light photochemically decomposes to the particular aggregate desired. For example, tetrazine3i4has been studied in both the gas and solid phase and appears to quantitatively decompose when exposed to light with wavelength h
