The several detailed infrared studies of hydrogen bonding in alcohols and phenols are exemplified by the work of Stuart and Sutherland (1956), Lippincott and Schroeder (1955, 1956), " Jakobsen and Brasch (1965), and Lake and Thompson (1966). Investigators write about monomers, dimers, polymers, proton donors, proton acceptors, and free hydroxyl, but without reference to the formation of ions. 

Surface forces measurement is a unique tool for surface characterization. It can directly monitor the distance (D) dependence of surface properties, which is difficult to obtain by other techniques. One of the simplest examples is the case of the electric double-layer force. The repulsion observed between charged surfaces describes the counterion distribution in the vicinity of surfaces and is known as the electric double-layer force (repulsion). In a similar manner, we should be able to study various, more complex surface phenomena and obtain new insight into them. Indeed, based on observation by surface forces measurement and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, we have found the formation of a novel molecular architecture, an alcohol macrocluster, at the solid-liquid interface. 

Adsorption phenomena from solutions onto sohd surfaces have been one of the important subjects in colloid and surface chemistry. Sophisticated application of adsorption has been demonstrated recently in the formation of self-assembhng monolayers and multilayers on various substrates [4,7], However, only a limited number of researchers have been devoted to the study of adsorption in binary hquid systems. The adsorption isotherm and colloidal stabihty measmement have been the main tools for these studies. The molecular level of characterization is needed to elucidate the phenomenon. We have employed the combination of smface forces measmement and Fomier transform infrared spectroscopy in attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) to study the preferential (selective) adsorption of alcohol (methanol, ethanol, and propanol) onto glass surfaces from their binary mixtures with cyclohexane. Om studies have demonstrated the cluster formation of alcohol adsorbed on the surfaces and the long-range attraction associated with such adsorption. We may call these clusters macroclusters, because the thickness of the adsorbed alcohol layer is about 15 mn, which is quite large compared to the size of the alcohol. The following describes the results for the ethanol-cycohexane mixtures [10],... 

In the wine industry, FTIR has become a useful technique for rapid analysis of industrial-grade glycerol adulteration, polymeric mannose, organic acids, and varietal authenticity. Urbano Cuadrado et al. (2005) studied the applicability of spectroscopic techniques in the near- and mid-infrared frequencies to determine multiple wine parameters alcoholic degree, volumic mass, total acidity, total polyphenol index, glycerol, and total sulfur dioxide in a much more efficient approach than standard and reference methods in terms of time, reagent, and operation errors. 

Iron(II) complexes are often included in studies when complexes are prepared from a large number of different metal ions. 2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazone, 5, forms brown [Fe(5)2A2] (A = Cl, Br) when prepared in ethanol and [Fe(5-H)2] from aqueous alcohol solution [156], All of these complexes are diamagnetic. The resonance Raman and infrared spectra of [Fe(5-H)2] were examined in detail [130] and coordination occurs via the pyridyl nitrogen, azomethine nitrogen and thiol sulfur. There is appreciable d-d sulfur-to-iron(II) Jt-bonding. Solution studies of iron(II) complexes of some 5-substituted-2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazones have been reported [157], but no solids... 

Catalytic dehydrogenation of alcohol is an important process for the production of aldehyde and ketone (1). The majority of these dehydrogenation processes occur at the hquid-metal interface. The liquid phase catalytic reaction presents a challenge for identifying reaction intermediates and reaction pathways due to the strong overlapping infrared absorption of the solvent molecules. The objective of this study is to explore the feasibility of photocatalytic alcohol dehydrogenation. 

Historically, one of the most important uses of DTA analysis has been in the study of interactions between compounds. In an early study, the formation of 1 2 association complexes between lauryl or myristyl alcohols with sodium lauryl or sodium myristyl sulfates have been established [21]. In a lesson to all who use methods of thermal analysis for such work, the results were confirmed using X-ray diffraction and infrared absorption spectroscopic characterizations of the products. 

Infrared absorption spectroscopy is also a powerful tool for matrix isolation studies, which have been carried out extensively for alcohol clusters [34, 88, 103]. Recently, the gap between vacuum and matrix isolation techniques for direct absorption spectroscopy has been closed by the study of nano matrices that is, Ar-coated clusters of alcohols [80]. Furthermore, alcohol clusters can be isolated in liquid He nanodroplets, where metastable conformations may be trapped [160].
