Ionic radii in aqueous solutions

Abstract: The aqueous ionic radii of 35 ions have been calculated from published data of the average distances between the ions and the nearest water molecules, obtained by diffraction and computer simulation methods.

Group contributions to the thermodynamic properties of non-ionic organic solutes in dilute aqueous solution

Abstract: The thermodynamic properties ΔG h o,ΔH h o, and ΔC p,h oassociated with the transfer of non-ionic organic compounds from gas to dilute aqueous solution and the limiting partial molar properties C p o ,2 and V2 2 of these compounds in water are described through a simple scheme of group contributions. A distinction is made between groups made only of carbon and hydrogen, and functional groups i.e. groups containing at least one atom different from carbon and hydrogen. Each group is assigned a contribution, for each property, through a least squares procedure which utilizes only molecules containing at most one functional group. Finally, for compounds containing more than one functional group, correction parameters are evaluated as the differences between the experimental values and those calculated by means of the group contributions. The different behavior of hydrophilic compared with hydrophobic groups is discussed for the various properties. A rationale for the correction parameters, i.e. for the effects of the interactions among hydrophilic groups on the thermodynamic properties, is attempted.

Structure in aqueous solutions of nonpolar solutes from the standpoint of scaled-particle theory

Abstract: Underlying assumptions have been examined in scaled-particle theory for the case of a rigid-sphere solute in liquid water. As a result, it has been possible to improve upon Pierotti’s corresponding analysis in a way that explicitly incorporates measured surface tensions and radial-distribution functions for pure water. It is pointed out along the way that potential energy nonadditivity should create an orientational bias for molecules in the liquid-vapor interface that is peculiar to water. Some specific conclusions have been drawn about the solvation mode for the nonpolar rigid-sphere solute.

Linear solvation energy relations

Abstract: Solvents have been parameterized by scales of dipolarity/polarizability π*, hydrogen-bond donor (HBD) strength α, and hydrogen-bond acceptor strength β. Linear dependence (LSER's) on these solvent parameters are used to correlate and predict a wide variety of solvent effects, as well as to provide an analysis in terms of knowledge and theoretical concepts of molecular structural effects. Some recent applications utilizing this approach are presented. Included are analyses of solvent effects on (a) the free energies of transfer of tetraalkylammonium halide ion pairs and dissociated ions, (b) rates of nucleophilic substitution reactions, (c) the contrast in solvent effects of water (HBD) and dimethyl sulfoxide (non-HBD) on the acidities of m- and p-substituted phenols, (d) partition coefficients of non-HBD solutes between solvent bilayers, and (e) family relationships between proton transfer (and non-protonic Lewis acid) basicities and corresponding β values for monomer HBA. A comprehensive summary of LSER with references is given.
