Abstract
Infrared studies of the interaction of acetyl-, carboxaldehyde- and benzoyl- ferrocenes with phenols have shown that the acid base interaction, measured both as the change in O-H stretching and the C=O stretching frequency, are related to the Hammett constant of the phenol. The change in O-H and C=O stretching frequencies are not necessarily linearly related when the groups attached to C=O are significantly different in mass.
