Dear Colleagues;

     I am seeking the _first_ publication in which it was recognised that the
O -- H stretching frequency of phenolic compounds falls out in the range 3500-
3600 cm-1 (IR spectrum).  This fact has apparently been very well known for a
_long_ time, but I've been unable to find the original paper in which this fact
was first recognised and discussed.

     No need to clog the bandwidth; kindly contact me directly at the Internet
address given below.

     Thanks in advance to all responders.

Sincerely,

S. Shapiro
