“…Therefore, it is stated that the polarity of a solvent is determined by its solvation capability or (solvation power) for reactants and activated complexes as well as for molecules in their ground and excited states. , Thus, solvation power depends on all specific and nonspecific intermolecular forces between solvent and solute molecules which include Coulomb interactions between ions, directional interactions between dipoles, inductive, dispersion, hydrogen bonding, and charge-transfer forces, as well as solvophobic interactions. A literature survey reveals that in spite of several papers about thermodynamics and kinetics of solutions with different protic and aprotic solvents − there are no reports on the complexation of Mo(VI) with EDDA in different aqueous solutions of methanol. The present study deals with the aforementioned system, and the results have also been compared with similar complexes reported in the literature.…”
