Ultraviolet spectral studies of hydrogen bonding between phenol and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) in several media are reported. The equilibrium constant for the formation of the phenol–DMA complex is strongly solvent dependent, varying from 295 1/mole in cyclohexane to 130 in CCl4 and 16 in CHCl3, all at 28°. The greatly reduced value in CHCl3 indicates that the measured equilibrium constant is only an apparent one which does not take into account the decrease in free DMA concentration resulting from hydrogen-bonded complex formation with the solvent acting as hydrogen donor. In CCl4/CHCl3 mixed solvent, in the range of [chloroform] = 0 to 1.227 M, the measured equilibrium constant, K′, varies linearly with K′ [chloroform]. The slope of the line corresponds to the equilibrium constant for the formation of the hydrogen-bonded complex between CHCl3 and DMA in CCl4. The value, 0.9 1/mole, agrees with that obtained from a proton magnetic resonance method. The agreement is particularly noteworthy when we consider that the concentrations of phenol used in the proton magnetic resonance and ultraviolet spectral methods differ by a factor of 200, which leads definitely to the conclusion that the hydrogen-bonded CHCl3–DMA complex formed is 1:1. In cyclohexane/CHCl3 mixed solvent, similar results are obtained.

The effect of solvents on the spectra, absorption, or emission of substances is called solvatochromism; it is due to solute/solvent nonspecific and specific interactions, including dipole/dipole, dipole-induced/dipole, dispersion interactions, and hydrogen bonding. Thermo-solvatochromism refers to the effect of temperature on solvatochromism. The molecular structure of certain substances, polarity probes, make them particularly sensitive to these interactions; their solutions in different solvents have distinct and vivid colors. The study of both phenomena sheds light on the relative importance of the solvation mechanisms. This account focuses on recent developments in solvation in pure and binary solvent mixtures. The former has been quantitatively analyzed in terms of a multiparameter equation, modified to include the lipophilicity of the solvent. Solvation in binary solvent mixtures is complex because of the phenomenon of "preferential solvation" of the probe by one component of the mixture. A recently introduced solvent exchange model allows calculation of the composition of the probe solvation shell, relative to that of bulk medium. This model is based on the presence of the organic solvent (S), water (W), and a 1:1 hydrogen-bonded species (S-W). Solvation by the latter is more efficient than by its precursor solvents, due to probe/solvent hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is an exception, because the strong DMSO/W interactions probably deactivate the latter species toward solvation. The relevance of the results obtained to kinetics of reactions is briefly discussed by addressing temperature-induced desolvation of the species involved (reactants and activated complexes) and the complex dependence of kinetic data (observed rate constants and activation parameters) in binary solvent mixtures on medium composition.
