Abstract
Abstract Chemical shift data for hydroxyl protons have enabled to calculate a structure factor, o, related to an apparent number of hydrogen bonds broken when 1,4-dioxan is added to methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol. Values of o indicate that the hydrogen bonded structure of ethanol is the less affected by the presence of cosolvent. Comparison with values previously obtained for water indicate that the aqueous structure is less modified, in the presence of a given amount of dioxan, than that of the alcohols considered. These results may depend on the different content of partially unbonded OH groups in liquid water and alcohols.
