Values of the rate constants, k2 (106 m3 mol−1 s−1), of solvated electrons,[Formula: see text] with several related salts, in pure water and pure 1-butanol solvents at 298 K are, respectively, as follows: LiNO3, 9.2, 0.19; NH4NO3, 10, 8.3; NH4ClO4, 1.5 × 10−3, 12 in 20 mol% water; LiClO4, 1.0 × 10−4, < 1.0 × 10−4. The value of [Formula: see text] in water solvent is 48 times larger than that in 1-butanol solvent, whereas [Formula: see text] in water is 10−4 times smaller than the value in 1-butanol. This enormous reversal of solvent effects on [Formula: see text] reaction rates is the first observed for ionic reactants. The solvent participates chemically in the [Formula: see text] reaction, and the overall rate constant increases with increasing viscosity and dielectric relaxation time. This unusual behavior is attributed to a greatly increased probability of reaction of an encounter pair with increasing duration of the encounter. Effective reaction radii κRr for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were estimated with the aid of measured electrical conductances of the salt solutions in all the solvents. Values of κRr are (2–7) × 10−10 m, except for NH4,s+ in 100 and 99 mol% water, which are 2.6 and 2.7 × 10−14 m, respectively. The effective radii of the ions for mutual diffusion increase with increasing butanol content of the solvent, from ~50 pm in water to ~150 pm in 1-butanol, due to the increasing average size of the molecules that solvate the ions.

The dissociation constants of benzohydroxamic, 4-chlorobenzohydroxamic, and 4-nitrobenzohydroxamic acids, and their N-methyl and O-methyl derivatives, were measured spectrophotometrically or potentiometrically in mixtures of 2-propanol and water. The results were extrapolated to zero ionic strength. The ratio of dissociation constants of the N-methyl and O-methyl derivatives can be taken to represent - with some approximation - the ratio of NH and OH acidities of the parent acid. This ratio increases with substitution by electron-attracting substituents, and decreases with solvent permittivity: some irregularities might be attributable to the effects of mixed solvents, It follows that 4-nitrobenzohydroxamic acid behaves essentially as N-acid in all solvents, 4-chlorobenzohydroxamic acid only in 90% 2-propanol or 80% methyl cellosolve. In benzohydroxamic acid the NH and OH acidities are comparable, the latter prevails slightly in water, the former in less polar solvents. Some apparent discrepancies in the literature can be explained in the same terms, only a few results have not yet been explained.

Kinetic Behaviour

Rate constants and associated activation parameters for the reaction of galvinoxyl with substituted phenols were obtained in carbon tetrachloride and in cyclohexane-dioxan binary mixtures. Substantial isotope effects were observed for O-deuterated phenols. The rate constants are correlated with σ+ values. These findings are discussed by considering the polar contribution of substituents to the stabilization of the transition states. In the mixed solvents, the kinetic behaviour is well expressed by the equations which are based on the theory of Kondo and Tokura.

The optical absorption spectra of es− in 1-butylamine–water mixed solvents increase smoothly in energy and intensity as the water content is increased, with the exception of a small decrease in intensity on going from 95 to 100 mol% water. At 298 K the value of Gεmax increases from 1.42 × 10−21 m2/16 aJ (8.6 × 103 es−L/100 eV mol cm) in pure 1-butylamine to 8.3 × 10−21 m2/16 aJ (50 × 103 es−L/100 eV mol cm) in pure water, and the value of EAmax increases from 115 zJ (0.72 eV) to 278 zJ (1.74 eV). In the pure amine, if G(es−) = 0.27, then εmax = 5.3 × 10−21 m2/es− (3200 m2/mol). The solvent composition dependences of Gεmax and EAmax indicate little selective solvation of es− by water; this might be due to relatively "ideal" mixing of water and amine in the binary solvents. The temperature coefficient −dEAmax/dT = 0.43 zJ/K in pure 1-butylamine, 0.47 in pure water, and has a minimum of 0.27 in the 50:50 mixture. Keywords: 1-butylamine–water mixed solvents, optical absorption spectra, solvated electron, temperature dependence.
