Improper or Classical Hydrogen Bonding? A Comparative Cryosolutions Infrared Study of the Complexes of HCCIF[sub 2], HCCI[sub 2]F, and HCCI[sub 3] with Dimethyl Ether.

Investigates the use of cryosolutions infrared in determining the complexes of haloforms with dimethyl ether. Influence of the ether on the haloform carbon (C)-hydrogen (H) stretching; Reaction mechanism of C-H bonds with electrons of oxygen and nitrogen atoms; Complexation shift of the haloform C-H stretching.
