Infrared OH stretching absorption of HDO isolated in aromatic hydrocarbons have been measured at temperatures of 473 and 523 K and at pressures in the 100-350 bar range. The peak frequencies are dependent on the solvents and their order, benzene>toluene>ethylbenzene>cumene>o-xylenesimilar tom-xylene>mesitylene, is exactly the same as the order for the ionization potentials of the hydrocarbons. Shifts of the frequencies from that of HDO in hexane, which was measured as a reference at the same temperature and pressure, were analyzed using a charge transfer theory for hydrogen bonding. Distances between the water molecule and a solvent phenyl ring were estimated to be 2.8+/-0.1 and 2.9+/-0.1 Angstrom at 473 and 523 K, respectively. These values are consistent with a structure of a water-benzene complex determined by a jet-cooled microwave spectroscopy. These facts suggest that the pi-hydrogen bond between water and aromatic hydrocarbons exists even at the high temperatures under pressure.
