Solvatochromic parameters of ethanolamines

Abstract

The solvatochromic parameters measuring the polarity, hydrogen bond donation (Lewis acidity) and electron pair acceptance (Lewis basicity) abilities of ethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine have been determined spectroscopically by means of suitable indicators. The degree of structure of these liquids was calculated.
