The rate constants have been measured of the reactions of methyl iodide with triethylamine (I) and tributylamine (III) at 293 K in twelve aprotic solvents, methyl iodide with tripropylamine (II) at 293, 313, 323, and 333 K in fifteen solvents differing greatly in their dipole moments, relative permittivities, and refractive indexes, and diiodomethane with tripropylamine in diiodomethane at 293 K (k1 = 2.1 10-5 s-1). The aprotic solvents predominantly affect the activation entropy which for the reaction of II varies from -200 J mol-1 s-1 (in cyclohexane) to -108 J mol-1 s-1 (in diiodomethane). The activation enthalpy of the reaction of methyl iodide with tripropylamine (II) is only little affected by aprotic solvents, a significant increase in activation enthalpy has been observed in the case of amphiprotic solvents. The evaluation of effect of medium on the rate constants of the above-mentioned reactions by means of the Kirkwood functions of relative permittivity and refractive index has shown a significant contribution of the refractive index of solvent which is comparable with the effect of relative permittivity.

Rate constants of the reaction of triethylamine with ethyl iodide (at 293.15, 313.15, 323.15, and 333.45 K) and wavenumbers of the longest wavelength band maxima of 4-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline and 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-1-pyridinio)phenoxide were measured in nitrobenzene and thirteen mixtures of nitrobenzene with cyclohexane. The activation characteristics of the reaction of triethylamine with ethyl iodide in these media were calculated, and the correlations of rate constants and spectral data were carried out with functions of relative permittivity and refractive index of the media used and mutually with each other.

Rate constants of the reaction of triethylamine with ethyl iodide (at 293.15, 313.15, 323.15, and 333.15 K) and wave numbers of the longest wavelength band maxima of 4-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline, 3-nitro-N,N-dimethylaniline, and 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-1-pyridinio)phenoxide were measured in benzene, acetonitrile, and their eleven mixtures. Activation characteristics of the reaction of triethylamine with ethyl iodide in these media were calculated, and the correlations of rate constants and spectral data with the functions of relative permittivity and refractive index of the media used and mutually with each other were carried out.

Wavenumbers of the S-O bond valence vibration of dimethyl sulphoxide, wavenumbers of the longest wavelength band maxima of 3-nitro-N,N-dimethylaniline and 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-1-pyridinio)phenoxide and rate constants of the reaction of triethylamine with ethyl iodide measured in mixtures of cyclohexane and acetone were correlated with functions of relative permittivity and refractive index of these media and mutually with each other.

Kinetics have been studied of oxidation of (1-hydroxybenzyl)ferrocenes substituted in phenyl ring with bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in benzene solutions as well as protonation of these alcohols in sulphuric acid medium. Logarithms of the oxidation rate constants (kobs, 20-40 °C) and those of the protonation equilibrium constants (KR+, 25 °C) show linear dependence on the Hammett σ constants, the ρ constant values being -0.86 to -0.40 and -2.50, respectively. These negative values suggest that the both processes are influenced by the same effects and confirm the mechanism proposed earlier for oxidation of alcohols with ferrocenyl substituent by action of bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in aprotic solvents.

Dependence of ET(30) of solvent parameters on relative permittivity (ε) and refractive index (n) of solvent has been found for forty solvents in the form ET(30)=29.87 + 72.03 (ε - 1/(2ε + 1)-29.16(ε - 1) (n 2 - 1)/(2ε + 1) (2n2 + 1), the correlation coefficient being 0.958. Relation has been discussed between ET(30) and π solvent parameters and significance of the term (ε - 1). (n2 - 1)/(2ε + 1) (2n2 + 1) has been tested for evaluation of solvent effects in electronic spectra.>

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.

Rate constants for the reaction of diazodiphenylmethane with cyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic acid and 2-methylcyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic acid were determined in nine aprotic solvents, as well as in seven protic solvents, at 30?C using the appropriate UV-spectroscopic method. In protic solvents the unsubsituted acid displayed higher reaction rates than the methyl-substituted one. The results in aprotic solvents showed quite the opposite, and the reaction rates were considerably lower. In order to explain the obtained results through solvent effects, reaction rate constants (k) of the examined acids were correlated using the total solvatochromic equation of the form: log k=logk0+s?*+a?+b?, where ?* is the measure of the solvent polarity, a represents the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond donor acidities (HBD) and b represents the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond acceptor basicities (HBA). The correlation of the kinetic data were carried out by means of multiple linear regression analysis and the opposite effects of aprotic solvents, as well as the difference in the influence of protic and aprotic solvents on the reaction of the two examined acids with DDM were discussed. The results presented in this paper for cyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic and 2-methylcyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic acids were compared with the kinetic data for benzoic acid obtained in the same chemical reaction, under the same experimental conditions.
