Molecular interaction between lithium chloride and propan-1-ol
Abstract
Because of its charge density, the Li+ from LiCl is expected to interact strongly with the hydroxy group in propan-1-ol; instead, a strong interaction occurs between Li+ and the two methylene groups of the alcohol, whereas only weak interaction occurs between the Li+ and the hydroxy or methyl group. I.r. and n.m.r. studies suggest that a complex is formed between lithium chloride and propan-1-ol.
