Conductance of substituted amine perchlorates and picrates in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at 25°C

Conductance measurements of 16 perchlorates and picrates of substituted ammonium cations have been made in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NM-2-Py) at 25°C. To aid in the estimation of ionic conductances, measurements of tetrabutyl-ammonium tetraphenylborate were also included. The data were analyzed by both the full Pitts equation and the expanded Pitts equation in order to obtain limiting molar conductances _o and the ion association constants K_A. The results showed that pyridinium perchlorate and piperidinium, 2,4-dimethyl-pyridinium, 2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium picrates and tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate appear to be completely dissociated in NM-2-Py. The values of K_A for the other salts range from 1 to 36 dm³-mol^–1. Limiting molar conductances for the cation were based on the Coplan-Fuoss assumption.On leave 1973–1975 from University of Gdask, Poland.
