Solvent-Solute Interactions: A Spectroscopic Study.
Abstract
The primary object of the research was the elucidation of the solvation of halide ions in mixtures of water with dipolar aprotic solvents. Preliminary results on chloride ion had indicated that there was no preferential solvation of the ion DMSO-H2O mixtures, however, the contact solvation shell of the ion did contain an excess concentration of water in CH3CN-H2) mixtures. The presence of excess solvating water in the CH3CN-H2O system was found to be due to the large activity coefficient of water in that solvent mixture. The reasons for the lack of an intrinsic preference of the halide ion for water have been explored. (Author)
