A variation of the temperature changes the static dielectric constant (ε) and the refractive index (n) of solvents and, in conjunction with the measurement of solvent shifts of absorption and fluorescence maxima, allows the investigation of dipole moment changes of solutes in the excited state. For this purpose, investigations of the temperature dependences of ε and n of some pure and mixed solvents of different polarities have been made. It is found that the excited dipole moments of indole, 1,2-dimethylindole, 2,3-dimethylindole and tryptophan obtained from the shifts of the fluorescence maxima in mixed solvents at high temperatures are in good agreement with those obtained in other ways.

The kinetics of acid hydrolysis of a number of aliphatic acetals have been studied in dimethyl sulphoxide-water and dioxan-water mixtures. Where possible, experimentally measured medium activity coefficients for the acetals in the solvent systems have been used in order to calculate the transition state activity coefficients as a function of solvent composition. These activity coefficients are compared with those calculated for the transition states of other hydrolytic reactions, and with the known activity coefficients of some stable ions. The results show no features inconsistent with the assumptions of transition state theory.
