The sigmoidal titration curve for (Me3NOH++Me3NO) and some (Me3NOH++B) suggest that (—OHO—)+ and (—OHN)+ hydrogen bridges are very strong. The experimental formation constants of the complexes (Me3NO)2H+, log Kf= 5.51, and (Me3NOHB)+, log Kf=≈ 4.0, with (NHN)+ bridges showing weaker interaction, log Kf≈ 2.0.Read More
