Dyes, hydrogen bonds

C00H2H, —NH2, and similar groups. With i9,(9-dihydroxyazo dyes, hydrogen bonding involving both hydroxyl groups is possible as iadicated ia (46). 

Figure 9.46 shows an example of a fluorescence excitation spectmm of hydrogen bonded dimers of x-tetrazine (1,2,4,5-tetraazabenzene). The pressure of x-tetrazine seeded into helium carrier gas at 4 atm pressure was about 0.001 atm. Expansion was through a 100 pm diameter nozzle. A high-resolution (0.005 cm ) dye laser crossed the supersonic jet 5 mm downstream from the nozzle. 

The main area of interest for plasticizers in PET is in the area of dyeing. Due to its lack of hydrogen bonds PET is relatively difficult to dye. Plasticizers used in this process can increase the speed and intensity of the dyeing process. The compounds used, however, tend to be of low molecular weight since high volatiHty is required to enable rapid removal of plasticizer from the product (see Dye carriers). 

Indanthrones. Indanthrone blue (Cl Vat Blue 4) [81-77-6] (6) (Cl 69800) is the first invented anthraquinone vat dye, and has been extensively used as the most important vat dye for many decades because of its bright color as well as excellent affinity and fastness. These advantages are considered to be due to the stable stmcture attained by the intramolecular hydrogen bonding (145). 

Hydrophobic Interaction. This is the tendency of hydrophobic groups, especially alkyl chains such as those present in synthetic fibers, and disperse dyes to associate together and escape from the aqueous environment. Hydrophobic bonding is considered (7) to be a combination of van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding taking place simultaneously rather than being a completely new type of bond or intermolecular force. 

Acetate fibers are dyed usually with disperse dyes specially synthesized for these fibers. They tend to have lower molecular size (low and medium energy dyes) and contain polar groups presumably to enhance the forces of attraction by hydrogen bonding with the numerous potential sites in the cellulose acetate polymer (see Fibers cellulose esters). Other dyes can be appHed to acetates such as acid dyes with selected solvents, and azoic or ingrain dyes can be apphed especially for black colorants. However thek use is very limited. 

If the cation has been unchanged, its ability to act as a hydrogen-bond donor has been unchanged, so why is an effect seen at all I propose that there is competition between the anion and the Reichardt s dye solute for the proton. Thus, the values of the ionic liquids are controlled by the ability of the liquid to act as a hydrogen bond donor (cation effect) moderated by its hydrogen bond acceptor ability (anion effect). This may be described in terms of two competing equilibria. The cation can hydrogen bond to the anion [Equation (3.5-2)] ... 

The cation can hydrogen bond to the solute (Reichardt s dye in this case) [Equation (3.5-3)] ... 

Pant and Levinger have measured the solvation dynamics of water at the surface of semiconductor nanoparticles [48,49]. In this work, nanoparticulate Zr02 was used as a model for the Ti02 used in dye-sensitized solar photochemical cells. Here, the solvation dynamics for H2O and D2O at the nanoparticle surface are as fast or faster than bulk water motion. This is interpreted as evidence for reduced hydrogen bonding at the particle interface. 

Solvatochromic pareuaeters, so called because they were Initially derived from solvent effects on UV/visible spectra, have been applied subsequently with success to a wide variety of solvent-dependent phenomena and have demonstrated good predictive ability. The B jo) scale of solvent polarity is based on the position of the intermolecular charge transfer absorption band of Reichardt s betaine dye [506]. Et(io> values are available for over 200 common solvents and have been used by Dorsey and co-%rarkers to study solvent interactions in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (section 4.5.4) [305,306]. For hydrogen-bonding solvents the...
