We report a linear correlation between the OH stretch frequency shift of the protonated methanol cluster, H+(MeOH)n, upon the π-hydrogen bond formation with benzene and the enthalpy change in clustering of H+(MeOH)n to H+(MeOH)n+1. This result suggests a new method to explore hydrogen bond strength in hydrogen bond networks.
