“…The calculated K D,M b 3 values are shown in Table 1. Given that b-diketones exist in solution, including IL solutions, as a mixture of the keto and enol forms, the distribution constant of the enol form (K D,HE ) as a proton complex in various solvents was calculated 27,46,48,49 and used for the discussion. The distribution constant of a solute, expressed on the mole fraction scale ðK D Þ, can be written using a modied equation based on the regular solution theory: 51,52 ln K…”
