Solvation of Li+, Be2+, Na+, Mg2+, and Al3+ ions has been studied in binary mixtures with dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile and water, and in ternary mixtures of the organic solvents with water. The CNDO/2 quantum chemical method was used to calculate the energies of solvation, molecular structures and charge distributions for the complexes acetonitrile...ion (1:1, 2:1, 4:1), dimethyl sulphoxide...ion (1:1), dimethylformamide...ion (1:1), and acetonitrile (dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide)...ion...water (1:1:1).

The density, viscosity, and electrical conductivity of highly concentrated solutions of ammonium nitrate in dimethyl sulphoxide have been determined over the temperature range 10-60 °C and the concentration range 7-50 mol% of the salt. The variations in the quantities as a function of temperature and concentration have been correlated by empirical equations. A comparison is made between the transport properties for the present system, aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate, and calcium nitrate solutions in dimethyl sulphoxide.

The extraction of hafnium(IV) with N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine solutions in chloroform or toluene from strongly acid (HClO4) solutions of dimethyl sulfoxide or hexamethylphosphor triamide has been studied. These substances were found to suppress the conversion of the extraction mechanism from ion exchange to solvation: while in solutions free of these substances this conversion takes place at HClO4 concentrations of about 4 mol l-1, in the mixed aqueous-organic (polar) phase the requisite acid concentrations are considerably higher. The possible causes of this effect are discussed.

The paper deals with the solvation of Li+, Be2+, Na+, Mg2+, and Al3+ ions in dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, and water. The ab initio quantum chemical method was used to calculate the solvation energies, molecular structures, and charge distributions for the complexes water···ion, acetonitrile···ion, dimethyl sulphoxide···ion, and dimethylformamide···ion. The interaction energies were corrected for the superposition error. Complete geometry optimization was performed for the complex water···ion. Some generalizations are made on the basis of the results obtained.

Contrasting behaviour is observed when 2- and 4-methoxy-3,5-dinitropyridine interact with methoxide ion in dimethyl sulphoxide. The 4-methoxy compound affords both methine and acetal sigma complexes, the latter being thermodynamically more stable. The interconversion is catalysed by methanol. Labelling experiments have established that the sigma complex from the 2-methoxypyridine is formed by addition at C6; no conversion into the acetal could be effected. These observations are rationalized in terms of differential steric and solvation effects. Demethylation and rearrangement reactions of 4-methoxy-3,5-dinitropyridine are reported.

Cyclic and acyclic bis-phosphonium salts with a two-carbon bridge are smoothly cleaved to phosphines in high yield by potassium cyanide in dimethyl sulphoxide. Evidence is presented that the reaction proceeds by an elimination-addition sequence. An elimination reaction also occurs when sodium methoxide, sodium azide, sodium acetate, and triethylamine react with ethane-1,2-bis(tri-phenylphosphonium) dibromide. ��� In a novel reaction, triphenylphosphine is converted into its oxide by a mixture of sodium azide and dimethyl sulphoxide.
