Solvation behaviour of silver(I) iodate in methanol—acetonitrile and ethanol—acetonitrile mixtures

The solvation behaviour of silver(I) iodate in methanol—acetonitrile (AN) and ethanol—acetonitrile mixtures has been studied at 30°C by solubility and emf measurements. The solubility of the salt increases with the addition of AN and passes through a maximum at X_AN = 0.3 and 0.6 in the case of MeOH-AN and EtOH-AN mixtures, respectively, and then decreases with further addition of AN. The transfer free energy of silver ion decreases while that of iodate ion increases with the addition of AN in both the solvent mixtures. The solvent transport number, Δ of AN is positive with a maximum at X_AN = 0.45 (Δ = 0.45 (Δ = 5.4) and at X_AN = 0.55 (Δ = 2.4) in the case of MeOH-AN and EtOH-AN mixtures, respectively. These results have been interpreted in terms of the heteroselective solvation of the salt, the silver ion being preferentially solvated by AN and the iodate ion by the amphiprotic solvent component in these mixtures.     

Selective solvation of copper(I) thiocyanate in acetonitrile-water mixtures at 30°C

The selective solvation of copper(I) thiocyanate has been studied in water-acetonitrile (AN) mixtures at 30°C by solubility and EMF measurements. The solubility of the salt increases continuously and changes only slightly beyond X _AN =0.7 mole fraction. The Gibbs energy of transfer of copper(I) ion from water to mixtures with acetonitrile (determined on the basis of the ferrocene reference method) decreases continuously, while that of the thiocyanate ion increases with the addition of acetonitrile. The solvent transport number of acetonitrile passes through a maximum (=6.4) at X _AN =0.25. These results were interpreted as arising due to a heteroselective solvation of the salt, the copper(I) ion being preferentially solvated by acetonitrile and the thiocyanate ion by water in these mixtures.     

Preferential solvation of silver(I) acetate in water,methanol and their mixtures with dimethyl sulfoxide

The solvent transport number, , of dimethyl sulfoxide andGibbs solvation energies of silver acetate in the binary solvent systems, water—DMSO and methanol—DMSO, were determined by employingEMF and solubility measurements. While the transfer free energy of the salt increases from water to water—DMSO mixtures (up toX _DMSO =0.7) and then decreases, it continuously decreases from methanol to methanol—DMSO mixtures. In both mixed solvents, G° _t(Ag+) decreases down to pureDMSO and that of acetate ion increases with increasing composition ofDMSO indicating that silver ion is preferentially solvated byDMSO and acetate ion by water or methanol in these mixtures. The solvent transport numbers, , ofDMSO are positive throughout, passing through a maximum atX _DMSO =0.45 (=1.0) in the case of water—DMSO mixtures and atX _DMSO =0.25 (=1.8) in methanol—DMSO mixtures. This observation is shown to be in accord with the conclusions arrived at from the transfer energy data of the salt in the two mixtures.

Bevorzugte Solvatation von Silber(I) acetat in Wasser, Methanol und deren Mischungen mit Dimethylsulfoxid

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Lösungsmitteltransportzahl () von Dimethylsulfoxid und dieGibbssche Solvatationsenergie von Silberacetat in den binären Lösungsmittelsystemen Wasser—DMSO und Methanol—DMSO mittelsEMK- und Löslichkeitsmessungen ermittelt. Während die freie Energie des Transfers des Salzes beim Übergang von Wasser zu Wasser—DMSO-Mischungen zunächst ansteigt (bisX _DMSO =0,7) und dann abfällt, ist für das System Methanol bzw. Methanol—DMSO ein kontinuierlicher Anstieg feststellbar. In beiden Mischsystemen fällt G°t(Ag⁺) bis zu reinemDMSO, der entsprechende Wert für Acetat steigt bei großeren Anteilen vonDMSO an. Das zeigt, daß das Silber(I)ion bevorzugt vonDMSO solvatisiert wird, Acetat von der jeweils anderen Komponente (Wasser bzw. Methanol). Die Lösungsmitteltransportzahl fürDMSO ist stets positiv mit Maxima beiX _DMSO =0,45 (=1,0) für Wasser—DMSO undX _DMSO =0,25 (=1,8) für Methanol—DMSO. Diese Beobachtung steht im Einklang mit Rückschlüssen, die aus den Transferenergiedaten des Salzes in den zwei untersuchten Systemen getroffen werden können.

     

Complexation between iron(III) and nicotinamide in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide

The stability constants of iron(III) complexes with nicotinamide in water-DMSO mixtures (X _DMSO = 0–0.75) were determined by potentiometric titration at 25.0 ± 0.1°C and an ionic strength of 0.25 (NaClO₄). The contributions from the solvation of the reagents to the Gibbs energy of complexation transfer were analyzed. The stabilities of iron(III), copper(II), and silver(I) complexes with nicotinamide were compared. The observed decrease in the stability constants was attributed to the stabilization of iron(III) solvate complexes as the DMSO content increases.     

Effect of the Composition of the Water–Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solvent on the Thermodynamics of the Formation of the [Ag(18-Crown-6)]+Complex

The effect of a water–dimethyl sulfoxide solvent (X _DMSO= 0–0.97, where X _DMSOis the mole fraction of DMSO) on the thermodynamics of complexation between Ag⁺and 18-crown-6 and the solvation of all reagents involved in this equilibrium were studied. In aqueous solutions, the complex is stable mainly because of the enthalpy contribution to _r G°. For X _DMSO> 0.3, the contributions from entropy and enthalpy become comparable in magnitude, but they are opposite in sign. In the binary solvent, the complex is most stable at X _DMSO= 0.2 to 0.3. Analysis of the enthalpy characteristics of reagent solvation showed that this solvent effect was due to the superposition of two opposite solvation contributions occurring with an increase in the DMSO concentration in the binary solvent, namely, the destabilization of the ligand solvate sphere and the formation of stable Ag⁺complexes with DMSO.     

Effect of the Composition of Ethanol–DMSO Solvents on the Stability of Silver(I) Complexes with 18-Crown-6

The effect of composition of ethanol–dimethyl sulfoxide (EtOH–DMSO) solvents (χ_DMSO = 0.0–1.0 mole fractions) on the stability of silver(I) complexes with 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) has been studied potentiometrically at 298.15 K. The increasing of DMSO concentrations in mixed solvents are shown to considerably reduce the stability of 18C6 complexes with silver(I) ion ([Ag18C6]⁺). A change in the solvation state of the central ion is suggested to be the key factor in shifting complexing equilibrium.     

Ionization enthalpy of benzoic acid in water—dimethylsulfoxide mixtures

The ionization enthalpy of benzoic acid has been measured calorimetrically at 25°C in H₂ODMSO mixtures ranging from pure water to a maximum DMSO molar ratio X_DMSO = 0.80. With the increase of DMSO content, the ionization becomes more and more endothermic, and for X_DMSO = 0.8 the ionization enthalpy is about 6 kcal mol^?1 higher than in water. By also measuring the solution enthalpy of crystalline benzoic acid in the mixtures, it has been shown that the solvation of the undissociated molecule is the main cause for the increase of the dissociation enthalpy. A comparison has been made between the relative enthalpies of benzoic and hydroxide ions in H₂ODMSO mixtures.     

Nicotinamide solvation state in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide

The solvation state of biologically active compound vitamin B₃, viz., 3-pyridinecarboxamide, in an aqueous-dimethyl sulfoxide solvent of a variable composition was studied by ¹H and ¹³C NMR and IR spectroscopy. Below X _DMSO ?0.65 molar fraction, the solvation of the N heteroatom due to hydrogen bonds with water molecules weakens. At X _DMSO > 0.65 molar fraction, almost no changes are observed in the solvate state of the N heteroatom. The ¹H NMR spectra indicate that the degree of conjugation of the carbamide group with the heterocycle increases with an increase in the DMSO concentration. The structures of the dimethyl sulfoxide and mixed aqueous-dimethyl sulfoxide solvates of nicotinamide were optimized by the B3LYP/6311++(DP) method, and their ¹³C chemical shifts (GIAO) and IR spectra were obtained. According to the IR spectroscopic data, the number of hydrogen bonds involving the carbamide group decreases on going from H₂O to DMSO.     

The influence of solvation on the formation of Ag<Superscript>+</Superscript> complexes with 18-crown-6 ether in water-dimethyl sulfoxide solvents

The Gibbs energies of transfer of 18-crown-6 ether from water into water-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvents (χ_DMSO = 0.0–0.97 mole fractions) at 298.15 K were determined by the interphase distribution method. Changes in the composition of the aqueous-organic solvent did not cause noticeable changes in the stability of 18-crown-6 ether solvato complexes. Reagent solvation contributions to shifts of complex formation equilibrium between silver(I) and 18-crown-6 ether when water was replaced with dimethyl sulfoxide were analyzed.     

Complexation of nickel (II) ion with B3 vitamin in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide

The stability change of nickel(II) ion complexes including one and two nicotinamide (B₃ vitamin) molecules in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide (X_DMSO = 0–0.85 m.f.) was studied at 298.2±0.1 K and 0.25 ionic strength value (NaClO₄) using the potentiometric method. The first stage constant of complexation increased until organic solvent concentration was 0.5 m.f. and reduced at higher DMSO content. The difference between complex and central ions solvation is a dominating contribution into the Gibbs energy change of mononicotinamide complex formation reaction. When the second ligand molecule was bonded into the coordination compound, the nicotinamide contribution to Δ_trG_r rose and became prevailing at X_DMSO = 0.7–0.85. The ligand was found to replace a water molecule in the coordination sphere of the cation according to spectrophotometric study results.      

Gibbs energies of transferring triglycine from water into H2O-DMSO solvent

The Gibbs energies of transferring triglycine (3Gly, glycyl-glycyl-glycine) from water into mixtures of water with dimethyl sulfoxide (χ_DMSO = 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 mole fractions) at 298.15 K are determined from the interphase distribution. An increased dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) concentration in the solvent slightly raises the positive values of Δ_tr G ^○(3Gly), possibly indicating the formation of more stable 3Gly-H₂O solvated complexes than ones of 3Gly-DMSO. It is shown that the change in the Gibbs energy of transfer of 3Gly is determined by the enthalpy component. The relationship of 3Gly and 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) solvation’s contributions to the change in the Gibbs energy of [3Gly18C6] molecular complex formation in H₂O-DMSO solvents is analyzed, and the key role of 3Gly solvation’s contribution to the change in the stability of [3Gly18C6] upon moving from H₂O to mixtures with DMSO is revealed.     

Ion-solvent interactions of silver(I)-18-crown-6 perchlorate complex in methanol-acetonitrile mixtures

The standard Gibbs transfer energies of the silver(I)-18-crown-6 perchlorate complex salt from methanol to various compositions of methanol-acetonitrile mixtures were determined from solubility measurements at 30°C and these data were separated into the corresponding ionic contributions by employing the negligible liquid junction potential method of Parkeret al. The solvent transport numbers _AN, for the salt were also determined at various solvent compositions using a concentration cell with transference.The Gibbs transfer energy of the silver(I)-18-crown-6 complex cation is negative and decreases with the addition of acetonitrile but the transfer energy of the anion is positive and increases under the same conditions. The solvent transport number, _AN, increases and passes through a maximum value of 5.48 at _AN=0.55. These results indicate that the complex salt is heteroselectively solvated in these mixtures with the cation being preferentially solvated by acetonitrile and the anion by methanol molecules.     

Solution thermodynamics and preferential solvation of triclocarban in {1,4-dioxane (1) + water (2)} mixtures at 298.15 K

The equilibrium solubility and preferential solvation of triclocarban in {1,4-dioxane (1) + water (2)} mixtures at 298.15 K was reported. Mole fraction solubility varies continuously from 2.85 × 10^–9 in neat water to 2.39 × 10^–3 in neat 1,4-dioxane. Solubility behaviour was adequately correlated by means of the Jouyban-Acree model. Based on the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals, preferential solvation parameters were calculated. Triclocarban is preferentially solvated by water in water-rich mixtures (0.00 < x₁ < 0.18) and also in 1,4-dioxane-rich mixtures (0.78 < x₁ < 1.00) but preferentially solvated by 1,4-dioxane in mixtures with similar solvent compositions.     

Determination of iodide with chloramine-T

A method is described for the estimation of iodide, based on its oxidation to iodate by the addition of excess of chloramine-T, destruction of the excess of chloraniine-T with dimethyl sulphoxide and determination of the iodate iodometrically. In addition, the dimethyl sulphoxide eliminates any interference from bromide or bromate.     

Study of Microheterogeneity in Acetonitrile–Water Binary Mixtures by using Polarity‐Resolved Solvation Dynamics

The solvation dynamics of three coumarin dyes with widely varying polarities were studied in acetonitrile–water (ACN–H₂O) mixtures across the entire composition range. At low ACN concentrations [ACN mole fractions (X_ACN)≤0.1], the solvation dynamics are fast (<40 ps), indicating a nearly homogeneous environment. This fast region is followed by a sudden retardation of the average solvation time (230–1120 ps) at higher ACN concentrations (X_ACN≈0.2), thus indicating the onset of nonideality within the mixture that continues until X_ACN≈0.8. This nonideality regime (X_ACN≈0.2–0.8) comprises of multiple dye‐dependent anomalous regions. At very high ACN concentrations (X_ACN≈0.8–1), the ACN–H₂O mixtures regain homogeneity, with faster solvation times. The source of the inherent nonideality of the ACN–H₂O mixtures is a subject of debate. However, a careful examination of the widths of time‐resolved emission spectra shows that the origin of the slow dynamics may be due to the diffusion of polar solvent molecules into the first solvation shell of the excited coumarin dipole.     

Thermodynamics of Complexation of Ag+ with 18-Crown-6 in Water-Dimethyl Sulfoxide Mixtures

The stability of complexes and enthalpy of interaction of Ag⁺ ions with 18-crown-6 in waterdimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixtures were determined by calorimetric titration in the range of mole fractions XDMSO from 0.0 to 0.97 at 298.15 K. With increasing concentration of the nonaqueous component in the solvent to XDMSO 0.3, the stability of the complex ion [AgL]⁺ increases, which is followed by a decrease in logK(AgL⁺) to 0.35 plusmn 0.15 at XDMSO 0.97. The exothermic effect of the reaction shows a similar trend. The presence of the extremum in the logK-XDMSO and _r H-XDMSO dependences is explained by the competition of two solvation contributions: destabilization of the ligand with decreasing water content in the solvent and formation of strong solvation complexes of Ag⁺ with DMSO.     

Stability of nickel(II) glycylglycinate complexes in aqueous solutions of dimethylsulfoxide at 298.15 K

Stability constants of nickel(II) glycylglycinate complexes in aqueous solutions of dimethylsulfoxide of variable composition (from 0.00 to 0.60 mole fractions DMSO) are determined according to potentiometry at 298.15 K and an ionic strength of 0.1 M (NaClO₄). It is determined that with a rise in the concentration of an organic cosolvent in solution, the stability of nickel(II) complexes with glycylglycinate ion on the whole increases, but the logK _stability = f(X _DMSO) dependences are of a critical character with a maximum of 0.3 mole fractions DMSO. It is demonstrated that the rise in the stability of complexes is related to the destabilization of ligands in the low concentration range of the organic component, while the presence of a maximum is due to the different dynamics of the solvation contributions from reagents during changes in the Gibbs energy of reaction.     

Sulphoxide complexes of ruthenium

Summary Compounds of the type RuL_4–nX_2+n where L = dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), tetramethylene sulphoxide (TMSO) and X = Cl, Br or I for n = 0 and L = di-n-propyl sulphoxide (n-Pr₂SO) and di-n-butyl sulphoxide (n-Bu₂SO) X = Cl or Br for n = 1 and also Ru(DMSO)₆Br₃ have been prepared and studied. The important i.r. bands of all compounds together with their electronic spectra and the thermograms of some of them are discussed. In order to interpret the i.r. data, the corresponding deuteriated (DMSO-d₆) analogues have also been prepared. In the majority of the compounds of the type RuL₄X₂ the sulphoxide ligands are bonded through the sulphur atom; in a few cases, bonding through both S- and O-donor sites has been found. A mixed type of bonding is also observed in Ru(DMSO)₆Br₃ and in RuL₃X₃.     

Solubility and preferential solvation of phenacetin in methanol + water mixtures at 298.15 K

The mole fraction solubility of phenacetin (PNC) in methanol + water binary solvent mixtures at 298.15 K was determined along with density of the saturated solutions. All these solubility values were correlated with the Jouyban–Acree model. Preferential solvation parameters of PNC by methanol (δx_1,3) were derived from their thermodynamic solution properties using the inverse Kirkwood–Buff integrals (IKBI) method. δx_1,3 values are negative in water-rich mixtures but positive in methanol mole fraction of >0.32. It is conjecturable that in the former case the hydrophobic hydration around non-polar groups of PNC plays a relevant role in the solvation. The higher solvation by methanol in mixtures of similar cosolvent compositions and methanol-rich mixtures could be explained in terms of the higher basic behaviour of methanol.     

On the variation of the distances of Nd3+−Cl− and Tm3+−Cl− in mixed system of dimethyl sulfoxide and water

The stability constants, β₁, of each monochloride complex of Ln(III) (Ln=Nd or Tm) have been determined in the mixed system of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water with 1.0 mol·dm⁻³ ionic strength using a solvent extraction technique. The values of β₁ of Ln(III) decrease to about 0.2 mole fraction of DMSO (X _s) in the mixed solvent system and then increase withX _s (>about 0.2). However, the variation mode of β₁ of Nd(III) withX _s somewhat differs from that of Tm(III). Calculation of Ln³⁺−Cl⁻ distance using a Born-type equation of the Gibbs' free energy derived from the β₁ evealed the followings: (1) For Tm³⁺ with coordination number 8, the estimated distance between Tm³⁺ and Cl⁻ (d _Tm-Cl) increases linearly withX _s in 0.00≤X _s≤0.17. This means an enlargement of the primary solvation sphere size of Tm³⁺ withX _s. On the other hand, thed _Tm-Cl shows a decrease withX _s in 0.17<X _s<0.28. (2) The estimatedd _Nd-Cl increases linearly withX _s in 0.00≤X _s<0.06 and 0.06<X _s≤0.17, but their slopes are different. The larger slope againstX _s in 0.06<X _s≤0.17 is attributable to a lowering of the β₁ by a coordination of ClO₄ ⁻ into the secondary solvation sphere of Nd³⁺ and/or by an increase in the solvation number of the primary solvation sphere of Nd³⁺.
