The frequencies of the fundamental C—D and C—H stretching band and the overtones have been measured for CDCl3 and CHBr3 in some nonpolar and some slightly polar solvents.We have pointed out that the mechanical anharmonicity of these vibrations is strong and solvent-dependent. Therefore, the approximation [Formula: see text] is not valid for the vibrators considered in this work.The solute–solvent interaction energy is the sum of induction, dispersion, and orientation energies (for polar solvents). Calculations based on the cell model for the liquid state showed that induction energy is of slight influence with respect to dispersion energy, which is greatly responsible for the observed frequency shift.

The solvation thermodynamics of cyclohexane in pure liquid phase and in water is analyzed by means of the theoretical approach developed by Lee. The sum of the work of cavity creation and the dispersive solute–solvent interaction energy reproduces well the experimental Gibbs energy values over the whole temperature range 5–100°C. This implies that the purely structural solvent reorganization is an exactly compensating process in both liquids. The dispersive solute–solvent interaction energy is larger in magnitude in cyclohexane than in water, whereas the work of cavity creation is larger in water than in cyclohexane. Therefore, both terms contrast the transfer of cyclohexane from pure liquid phase to water, determining its hydrophobicity. This mechanism qualitatively corresponds to that operative in the case of benzene.Key words: hydrophobicity, cavity creation, excluded volume, dispersive interactions, enthalpy–entropy compensation.
