Gibbs functions for transfer of divalent metal cations from water to water + methanol mixtures using potentiometry, polarography and solubility measurements

Gibbs functions for transfer from water to methanol and to a full range of water + methanol mixtures were obtained for Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺ and Ba²⁺ using potentiometric or polarographic measurements in these solvents. In addition, data were obtained from the solubility products of the alkaline-earth iodates. From values obtained by the different methods and literature data, a table of selected values is given.
