t-Butylcyclohexane as an inert solvent in n.m.r. studies of hydrogen bonding
Abstract
On account of its physical properties, t-butylcyclohexane has distinct advantages over cyclohexane as an inert solvent in n.m.r. studies of hydrogen bonding. It is found that the extent of hydrogen bond formation is larger in t-butylcyclohexane than in cyclohexane; this result is attributed to differences in the solvent cage effect in the two solvents.
