Investigation of the Association of Alcohols and Phenols by the NMR Method

The review discusses and analyses the literature on the study of the association of alcohols and phenols by the NMR method. The methods for the determination of the equilibrium constants and heats and entropies of formation of the association complexes of the above substances in both inert and basic solvents are described for equilibria of different types.
The polar and steric effects of the substituents in alcohols and phenols on the thermodynamic functions for the formation of self-association complexes and also of association complexes with polar molecules has been analysed.
The bibliography comprises 151 references.
