Abstract

MNDO-PM3 and AMI quantum chemical calculations of the molecular structure of N,N’-diphenylguanidine (DPG) prove that the molecule preferably exists as an asymmetric tautomer with a basic center C=N-. IR and UV spectral data, dipole moments, and average molecular weights of DPG solutions in nonpolar and low-polar solvents confirm the results of calculations, indicating formation of hydrogenbonded cyclic self-associates of DPG in solution.
