Abstract

When referenced to an alkane solute of similar molecular volume, i.e. log (Ksolute/Kalkane), gas/liquid partition coefficients for nitromethane, methylethylketone, dioxan, toluene and ethanol solutes are well correlated by the solvatochromic parameters, π*, δ, α and β. For nitromethane and dioxan solutes the partition coefficients depend only on the dipolarity/polarizability parameters (π*, δ). For methylethylketone, there is also a measurable dependence on hydrogen-bond donor acidity (α) of protic solvents. For ethanol in aliphatic non-hydrogen-bond donor solvents the dominant effects are solvent dipolarity/polarizability and solvent hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity (β). For toluene solute there appears to be a negative or desolvation effect in protic solvents which is attributed to a 'hydroxyphobic effect' of weakly basic solutes in alcohol solvents.

It is more fruitful to use solute characteristics such as the output a, b and s values in eqn (2) and (3) that refer to the (monomeric) solute at infinite dilution. The work by R. W.T. was supported in part by a grant from the Public Health Service. The work by M.J.K. was done under Naval Surface Weapons Center Independent Research Task IR-201. Part 8.-R. W. Taft and M. J.
