Standard free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of transfer of p-nitroaniline (pNA) from water to aqueous mixtures of some ionic and non-ionic cosolvents like KBr, urea (U), propylene glycol (PG), glycerol (GL), dioxane (D), and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) have been determined from solubility measurements at different temperatures. The observed [Formula: see text]–composition profile in KBr solution appears to result from the well known salting-out effect of the salt and those in aqueous poly-ols and ethers are the result of the combined effects of dispersion and "acid–base" type interactions but that in aqueous urea solutions is governed by the "salting-out" type interaction by the predominant zwitterionic form of urea. The observed [Formula: see text]–composition profiles as well as those obtained after correcting for the "cavity-effect", as estimated tentatively by the scaled particle theory (SPT), were examined in the light of Kundu et al.'s semi-quantitative theory proposed earlier. The latter profiles suggest that unlike isopropyl alcohol (IPA), the poly-ols and ethers as well as KBr and urea induce structure breaking of three dimensional (3D) water structure right from the initial compositions. Moreover, the observed "roller-coaster" type behaviour of the profile in aqueous urea is indicative of the effect of urea–water aggregation around 4–10 m urea. Also, the observed graded reduction of structure-promoting effect of IPA in PG and GL cosolvent systems confirms that structuring and destructuring ability of a cosolvent depends on the ratio of hydrophobicity to hydrophilicity of the cosolvent.

Relative densities, [Formula: see text] and heat capacity ratios, [Formula: see text] have been measured for aqueous solutions of glycine, glycylglycine, and glycylglycylglycine in aqueous urea solutions containing 1–13 mol kg−1 urea. These data have been used to calculate apparent molar volumes, [Formula: see text] and apparent molar heat capacities, [Formula: see text] which in turn have been used to obtain standard state volumes, [Formula: see text] and standard state heat capacities, [Formula: see text].Volumes and heat capacities of transfer from water to urea have been calculated from our reported standard state data. Heat capacities of transfer of the investigated systems have been modeled using a procedure developed from the semiempirical calculation procedures proposed by Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers. Keywords: amino acids, peptides, calorimetry, transfer thermodynamics, HKF theory.

Electrolysis of quaternary ammonium bromides and iodides in a divided cell with a Nafion membrane yields quaternary polyhalogenides at a carbon anode in water-ethanolic anolytes. The electrodialysis of tetrabutylammonium iodide in a cell with a Nafion membrane enables generation of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. In electrolytic reduction of nitrobenzene in presence of 1,3-dibromopropane, N-phenylisooxazolidine results in an approx. 60% yield. This electrosynthesis takes place in dimethylformamide with tetrabutylammonium bromide at a glassy-carbon cathode in a divided cell. In the electroreduction of lobelanine hydrogensulfate in a divided cell in acid water-ethanolic media at a lead cathode prevalently lobelanidine has been obtained.
