By a comparative study of the concentration-dependent IR spectra of methyl benzoate (MB)/methanol-d 4 and MB/n-hexane mixtures, it is found that the infrared wavenumber (υ˜) of ester group (Odouble bondCsingle bondO) of MB in the former system decreased exponentially with the increase of mole fraction of MB (x 1), while that of the latter system decreased linearly, suggesting that H-bonding interaction plays an important role in the microstructure of MB/methanol-d 4 mixture. Therefore, to explore the microstructure and characterize the strength of H-bonding interaction of MB/methanol mixture, the excess infrared wavenumber of a group (υ˜ group E) is proposed, showing that υ˜ O− D E of methanol-d 4 presents an S shape with a minimum value at x 1≈ 0.4 and a maximum value at x 1≈ 0.8, respectively. Furthermore, the absolute value of υ˜ O− D E (| υ˜ O− D E|) of the former is greater than that of the latter, suggesting that H-bonding interaction in methanol-d 4 molecules is stronger than that between methanol-d 4 and MB. While both υ˜ C= O E and υ˜ C− O E of MB show a negative deviation with minimum values at x 1≈ 0.4, and| υ˜ C= O E| is larger than| υ˜ C− O E|, indicating that Cdouble bondO is directly involved in H-bonding interaction with Osingle bondD, resulting in the change of υ˜ C− O E through the electronic conjugation effect. To confirm the microstructure obtained from IR spectra, densities, speeds of sound, and viscosities of MB/methanol mixture are measured and excess properties are calculated. The results show that both excess molar volumes and isentropic compressibility deviations have a negative deviation with a minimum value at x 1≈ 0.4, which is good consistent with x 1 corresponding to the minimum value of υ˜ O− D E, υ˜ C= O E, and υ˜ C− O E, respectively. Moreover, viscosity deviations exhibit a negative deviation with a minimum value at x 1≈ 0.8, which is good consistent with x 1 corresponding to the maximum value of υ˜ O− D E.
