Abstract
The hydrogen bond enthalpies of urea and methyl-substituted ureas with water and DMF have been determined by the pure-base calorimetric method. Transfer enthalpies between water and DMF have been calculated for dilute solutions of the ureas according to a previously developed model. The first solvation sphere of urea in water consists of five water molecules. Solvation spheres are given for other methyl-substituted ureas in water and DMF.Keywords
