SPECTROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ALDEHYDIC HYDROGEN-BONDING BETWEEN CYCLO- TETRAMETHYLENE - TETRANITRAMINE(HMX) AND DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE(DMF); RESONANCE PHENOMENA IN DMF,
Abstract
The possibility of hydrogen bonding (HB) OLVING THE ALDEHYDIC HYDROGEN (AH) of DMF in the crystalline complex molecule HMX-DMF has been investigated (Part I). Spectroscopic methods were used. DMF-d1 with deuterium as the AH was employed. The change in the vibrational stretching frequency of the AH of DMF does not indicate that such HB exists in the complex. Some observations are made concerning variations in intermolecular phenomena between gas and liquid phases of DMF (Part II). Spectroscopic methods were used. HB was found to play no part in these phenomena. The phenomena are explained in terms of a resonance mechanism. (Author)
