Intermolecular hydrogen-bonding between phenol and N,N'-dimethylanilines (DMA) has been studied by infrared spectrophotometry. Results show that DMA acts as n-and π-donor although n-complex predominates. O-H stretching frequency shifts (Δν) were proportional to basicitys of DMA and excellent linearity was observed between Δν and the Hammett substituent constant, σ.
