A Study of Hydrogen-Bonded Solutions With NMR Spectroscopy

Several thermodynamic models have been proposed for alcohol-hydrocarbon solutions using chemical-physical theories with the alcohol assumed to self-associate through hydrogen bonds. These models do an excellent job of correlating vapor-liquid equilibria, excess enthalpy and mutual solubility data. However, they have no predictive capabilities because of the large number of unknown parameters. Also, cross prediction of other thermodynamic properties from the fitted parameters is usually not possible.
