The effects of selected gases upon ethanol: hydrogen bond breaking by O2 and N2

Publication: Canadian Journal of Chemistry
July 1985

Abstract

The temperature dependency of the phosphorescence properties of aromatic hydrocarbons in alcoholic glasses exhibits a number of phenomena that have not been described previously. Chief among these are the effects of added gases (O2, N2, C2H6, Ar), some of which produce major changes in the luminescence characteristics. These are discussed, and rationalized in terms of a model which presumes that O2 and N2 can disrupt the normal hydrogen bonding process between alcohol molecules.

Résumé

L'effet de la température sur les propriétés de phosphorescence des hydrocarbures aromatiques dans des verres d'alcools présente un certain nombre de phénomènes inconnus jusqu'à maintenant. On peut souligner notamment l'effet des gaz ajoutés (O2, N2, C2H6, Ar) dont certains provoquent des changements importants au niveau des caractéristiques de la luminescence. On discute de ces changements et on les rationalise en fonction d'un modèle qui présume que le O2 et le N2 peuvent rompre les liaisons hydrogènes normales entre les molécules d'alcool.
