Abstract
Spectral Investigations of certain polyfunctional phenolic compounds and of derivatives of the bile acids, using infra-red, ultra-violet and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, reveal abnormally persistent intermolecular self-association through multiple hydrogen bonding. The extent of the effect, as measured by osmometry, depends on the stereochemistry of the molecules involved, especially the position and number of attached hydroxyl groups.
