The selective solvation behavior of copper(II) iodate, formate, and benzoate in the isodielectric solvent mixtures of methanol and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone has been studied using the standard Gibbs transfer energies and solvent transport number measurements. The standard Gibbs transfer energies of various ions were determined on the basis of the tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylborate (TATB) assumption. The results were interpreted in terms of heteroselective solvation of all the salts with copper(II) ion being selectively solvated by N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and anions by methanol.
The preferential solvation of copper(II) iodate, benzoate, formate, salicylate, p-methylbenzoate, and p-nitrobenzoate has been studied in water + N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone mixtures at 30 °C by Gibbs energies of transfer and solvent transport number measurements. The Gibbs transfer energies of the salts were split into their ionic values using the transfer energies of copper ion determined on the basis of the negligible liquid junction potential method. These results were also compared with those obtained on the basis of the tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylborate method. These results have been interpreted in terms of heteroselective solvation of all the salts with the copper ion being selectively solvated by N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and anions by water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
