25. 4 than in the gas phase (see: Ingold, K. U. Can. J. Chem. 1962, 40, 111 - 121), and in this low-dielectric solvent, relative energies are expected to be little changed compared to those in the gas phase. We therefore performed all calculations for isolated (nonsolvated) monomers and complexes.

46. Intramolecular HB strengths were computed (ref 27), to a first approximation (ref 28), by taking the difference in enthalpy between the OH "toward the ortho substituent" H-bonded minimum enthalpy structure and the OH "away" minimum enthalpy structure following a 180° rotation of the OH group about the HO- C bond.

48. This is only a first approximation of the intramolecular HB strength because it incorporates enthalpies associated with resonance and inductive interactions between the OH group and the other substituents on the ring.

52. There would appear to be no 2,6-diacylphenols commercially available, and no easy synthesis of any of them was discovered in the literature. It was not possible, therefore, to look for a bifurcated hydrogen bond with DMSO using such a phenol.
53. H value for nitrobenzene is 0.34, whereas the values for benzaldehyde and acetophenone are significantly greater, 0.42 and 0.51, respectively (ref 5).

62. The "ortho- para method" (ref 38) for estimating the enthalpy of this intramolecular HB from the difference in the calculated ground- state energies of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde yielded values of 5.5 (CBS-QB3) and 5.6 (B3LYP/6-311+G(dp)) kcal/mol (ref 38b). As appears to be usual (ref 38), the ortho-para method gives lower (often much lower) intramolecular HB strengths than the "cis- trans method" we employed. There appears to be no compelling reason for choosing one method over the other. The ortho-para method yielded intramolecular HB strengths in 2-acetylphenol of 5.9 (CBS-QB3) and 6.3 (B3LYP/6-311+G(dp)) kcal/mol (ref 38b).

69. The ratio of the "free" phenol to the HB form was estimated (ref 39) to be 4:96, possibly from peak heights (our own peak height ratio is 5:95, Figure 9). However, this ratio overestimates the amount of the "free" phenol because HB bands are broader and generally of lower height than an equal quantity of a "free" phenol. A better measure of "free" phenol is given by the ratio of the integrated areas of the two bands, viz., 1.9:98.1. However, this ratio will underestimate the amount of "free" phenol because the integrated areas of the O-H stretching bands of phenols are greater when the phenol forms a HB than when it is "free".

73. 4. A very similar equilibrium constant should apply to phenol (see text), indicating that for phenol in neat CCl4 about 20% of the hydroxyl groups will be hydrogen-bonded to a solvent molecule. This phenomenon is not distinguishable by IR, but it is in excellent agreement with earlier kinetic measurements (ref 3).
