Solvents Having High Dielectric Constants. IV. Conductances of Ammonium and Substituted Ammonium Halides in N-Methylacetamide at 40°^1,2

Investigation of N-Methylacetamide as a Nonaqueous Polarographic Solvent

“…Dawson et al (3,4) reported the conductivities of several halides in this solvent and observed that for the halides mentioned, the equivalent conductances at infinite dilution and at 40°C. were 24.47, 21.18, and 18.1, respectively.…”

“…X-Methylacetamide possesses certain properties which were considered advantageous for its utilization as a nonaqueous solvent-i.e., a high dielectric constant, 178.9 and 165.5 (3,4) at 30°and 40°C ., respectively, and a liquid range from 29°to 206°C. An organic solvent whose dielectric constant is of this magnitude offers the distinct possibility of serving as a solvent for many polarographically reducible substances, both inorganic and organic.…”

Conductance of sodium perchlorate in water-N-methylacetamide (NMA) solvent system

“…NMA is highly unusual with respect to many of its physical properties and especially when water mixtures are considered. Dawson et al (11)(12)(13)(14) have characterized NMA and also measured the conductance of many electrolytes in NMA. Some of the unusual properties which make this solvent exceedingly attractive for a conductance study over the entire range of solutions from pure water to pure NMA are summarized.…”
