Fluorinated macromeric diols have been investigated by means of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy; the absolute intensities of characteristic bands of OH stretching have been determined and related to aggregation phenomena. Main results show that the ratio between "free" and "hydrogen-bonded" OH groups strictly depends on the polarity of chemical environment (macromeric-polymeric matrix). The intepretation of the experimental data has been supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations on suitable molecular models, validating the results obtained both qualitatively and quantitatively.
