complex formation
« on: February 03, 2020, 03:47:44 PM »
Hello!!

Which complexes will be formed in binary mixture of ethyl acetate and methanol (1:1) under normal conditions (without heating)?

Do you mean azeotrop? Transesterification?

It's mixture in proportion 1:1. I want to find some complexes in this mixture using IR spectroscopy, but I'm not sure that the complexes will be form in such mixture.

You have only a mixture of two solvents. Nothing special will happen, if not heated or added of catalyst H+.

If you take IR of that mixture, you're just going to see methanol and EtOAc overlapping. We do not understand what you are getting at.

Thank you for the answers.

Will such complexes form in camera of ionization of mass spectrometer? Will I register complexes methanol+ethyl acetate in mass spectrometric measutements?

dmtr19, I think you do not understand enough about this topic to ask understandable questions. What you ask is gibberish. Methanol and EtOAc do not form complexes. That term has a very specific meaning in chemistry.

I do not know your purpose but I suggest you find a formally educated chemist to work with you to produce meaningful results.
