Solvatochromic parameters for binary mixtures of an ionic liquid with various protic molecular solvents

Abstract  Solvatochromic parameters (E _T ^N, normalized polarity parameter; π*, dipolarity/polarizability; β, hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity; α, hydrogen-bond donor acidity) have been determined for binary mixtures of propan-2-ol, propan-1-ol, ethanol, methanol and water with recently synthesized ionic liquid (IL; 2-hydroxyethylammonium formate) at 25 °C. In all solutions except aqueous solution, E _T ^N values of the media increase abruptly with the ILs mole fraction and then increase gradually to the value of pure IL. A synergistic behavior is observed for the α parameter in all solutions. The behavior of π* and β are nearly ideal for all solutions except for solutions of methanol with the IL. The applicability of nearly ideal combined binary solvent/Redlich–Kister equation was proved for the correlation of various solvatochromic parameters with solvent composition. The correlation between the calculated and the experimental values of various parameters was in accordance with this model. Solute–solvent and solvent–solvent interactions were applied to interpret the results.

Preferential Solvation of Acetic Acid in Binary Mixtures of Carbon Tetrachloride–Cyclohexane and Carbon Tetrachloride–1,2-Dichloroethane

The partition of acetic acid between aqueous solutions and various binary mixtures of carbon tetrachloride + cyclohexane and carbon tetrachloride + 1,2-dichloroethane were carried out at 30.0 °C. The nonlinear dependence of both the monomer partition coefficient and the dimerization constant on the mole fraction composition has been rationalized in terms of preferential solvation of the various solvation sites of the involved species. Two and four polar sites were identified for the monomer and dimer forms, respectively. The solvation preference is controlled by the relative polarities of the binary solvent components, being, in general, higher for the monomer sites compared to the dimer ones. The dimer is almost equally stable in various carbon tetrachloride + 1,2-dichloroethane mixtures, and the variation of dimerization constants with changing binary composition arises mainly from the monomer solvation stabilization.     

Study on Preferential Solvation of Water by Electrochemical Method

The preferential solvation of water plays an important role in ferrocene research which is a subject of current interest. Voltammetric investigations were carried out for Au electrode in acetonitrile/water, showing preferential solvation of water. In our work, the preferential solvation of water in acetonitrile/water was studied by electrochemical methods including cyclic volitammetry, electrochemical impedance spectra and double‐step chronoamperometry. Ferrocenemethanol (FcCH₂OH) molecules as a solute spontaneously adsorb on the electrode surface in anhydrous acetonitrile, resulting from acetonitrile molecules tend to form an acetonitrile solvent layer on the surface of the electrode and acetonitrile solvent layer has a lower energy barrier than the aqueous solvent layer, which has been obtained by modeling solvation. The solvent strongly influences electrochemical behavior of solute. Once there is an amount of water in acetonitrile solvent, FcCH₂OH that adsorbed on the electrode surface desorb. This is because water preferentially solvate with FcCH₂OH in term of intermolecular forces between solvent and solute. Moreover, hydrogen bond between water molecules and FcCH₂OH molecules is stronger than dipole‐dipole interaction between acetonitrile molecules and FcCH₂OH molecules in solvation effect. Through electrochemical behavior of FcCH₂OH changing, preferential solvation of water is analyzed by electrochemical methods.

Kamlet–Taft Solvation Parameters of Solvate Ionic Liquids

The Kamlet–Taft solvent parameters of solvate ionic liquids (SILs) prepared from lithium salts with glyme and glycol ligands are determined. The dipolarity/polarisibilities (π*) are high, similar to those found in conventional ionic liquids. The H‐bond basicities (β) depend strongly on the anion. The H‐bond acidities (α) are high in both glyme and glycol SILs, indicating that the lithium is acting as a H‐bond donor site. “Poor” SILs have glyme‐rich and salt‐rich regions. In these liquids the π* and β values are almost identical to the parent glyme or glycol, and the α values are determined by the salt alone.

Solute-Solvent Interaction Effects on Protonation Equilibrium of Substituted N-Benzylidene-2-hydroxyanilines in Aqueous Ethanol: The Application of Factor Analysis to Solvatochromic Parameters and Protonation Equilibria

Summary. In this study, the stoichiometric protonation constants, logK_OH and logK_NH, of sixteen substituted N-benzylidene-2-hydroxyanilines have been determined potentiometrically in ethanol-water mixtures of varying composition (10–80% ethanol by volume) at 25.0±0.1°C. The values of the constants, logK, were submitted to factor analysis in order to obtain the number of factors which affect the variation of the whole data sets of protonation constants and, afterwards, to target factor analysis to identify these factors. The influence of solvatochromic parameters in the interactions between Schiff bases derivatives and the solvent studied was identified and quantified. Kamlet and Taft general equations allow calculation of the logK values of Schiff bases studied in any ethanol-water mixtures up to 80% (v/v) and thus provide the knowledge of the acid-base behaviour in these solvent media. Further, the quasi-lattice quasi-chemical (QLQC) theory of preferential solvation has been applied to quantify the preferential solvation by water of electrolytes in ethanol-water mixtures.

Preferential Solvation and Solvatochromic Parameters in Mixtures of Poly(ethylene glycol)-400 with Some Molecular Organic Solvents

Polyethylene glycols have become more popular alternate reaction media due to interesting properties like non-toxicity, bio-degradability, and full miscibility with water and organic solvents. Binary mixtures of polyethylene glycols with common solvents can be useful to tune their physical and chemical properties and to facilitate chemical and physical processes. In this study, solvatochromic parameters were spectrophotometrically determined for binary solvent mixtures of poly(ethylene glycol)-400 (PEG-400) with methanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-Dimethylformamide, and dichloromethane under ambient conditions, over the whole range of mole fractions. The solvatochromic parameters showed different trends in protic and aprotic solvents mixed with PEG-400. Methanol/PEG-400 mixtures showed special properties in polarity and polarizability so that the mixtures are more dipolar/polarizable than their pure components. Positive or negative deviations from ideal behavior confirmed that the indicators were involved in a preferential solvation process in the solvent mixtures. These deviations from ideality can be attributed to strong solvent–solvent interactions in the binary mixtures.     

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.

Investigation of the Role of Ionic Liquids in Imparting Electrocatalytic Behavior to Carbon Paste Electrode

In this paper, a survey has been undertaken to clarify the possible reasons for the electrocatalytic activity obtained by the presence of ionic liquid in carbon paste electrode (CPE). For this purpose, the effect of the addition of traces of ionic liquid to conventional CPE was investigated. Fe(CN)₆^3?/4? was used as a probe and two ionic liquids, namely n‐octylpyridinum hexafluorophosphate and 1‐octyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexaflourophosphate were tested for their electrocatalytic activity. The reasons for this electrocatalytic behavior were evaluated and it was found that different factors such as increase in the ionic conduction of the binder, decrease in the resistance of the modified electrode, increase in ion exchange properties of the electrode and the inherent catalytic activity of ionic liquids are responsible for the considerable improved electrochemical response obtained in the presence of traces of ionic liquid.
