Abstract
The hydrogen-bond formation between chloroform as proton donor and acetonitrile, triethylamine, pyridine and pyrrole as proton acceptors has been studied by infrared spectroscopic method. Spectra were recorded for the C-D stretching and bending modes. No substantial shift in the C-D stretching mode is found in acetonitrile, however minor changes were noticed in the apparent integrated intensity. A shift of $7 cm^{-1}$ is observed in the bending mode and also an increase in half band width. This indicates that there is no substantial hydrogen bond formation in this system. Huggins and $Pimentel^{1}$ observed appreciable shift for C-D stretching mode in triethylamine. This system has been studied in detail both in binary and ternary solution as to the variation of position and intensity of these bands with concentration and temperature. Similar studies have also been extended to the other solvents as well.
