Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop methods for studying gas phase hydrogen bonding and to obtain evidence of the gas phase self association of methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and 1-propanol. A gas sample transfer manifold was designed and constructed. The gas -1 8 -1 phase infrared spectra from 3050 cm to 3800 cm of methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and 1-propanol were examined at low and saturated pressures at approximately 4o0 c. The measured integrated absorption areas of the methanol spectra were compared to areas calculated from results found in the literature. The areas were found to be in reasonable agreement with the literature. Evidence of hydrogen bonding in the form of absorption curve shape was obtained for the other alcohols studied. Further work needs to be done to reliably establish the gas phase association constants and heats of formation for methanol, and to provide some original values for the other alcohols studied.
