Free energies of transfer (ΔGt0) of the reference electrolyte Ph4AsBPh4 (Ph = phenyl) from ethylene glycol to its approximately isodielectric mixtures with acetonitrile have been determined at 25 °C from the measurement of the solubilities of KPi, Ph4AsPi, and KBPh (Pi = picrate) in these solvents. Using the assumption [Formula: see text] values for the individual ions K+, Pi−, Ph4As+, and Ph4 s− have been estimated. These, in conjunction with previously determined values of ΔGt0 for MCl (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and H), KBr and KI have provided ΔGt0 values for Cl−, Br−, I−, and M+ ions. Ionic ΔGt0's have been interpreted in terms of specific ion–solvent interactions. The contrasting behaviour of ethylene glycol and acetonitrile in ion-solvation is shown to be characteristic of the protic and dipolar aprotic solvent types respectively.

Absolute standard free energies of transfer ΔGt0 of OH− from water to aqueous mixtures of 2-methoxy ethanol (ME) have been evaluated at 298.15 K by combining the apparent transfer free energies of the lyate ion that were obtained from the standard emf's of the double cell:[Formula: see text]and that from the autoionization constants of these mixed solvents determined by use of the cell comprising H2– and Ag–AgCl electrodes. The required ΔGt0 values of K+ and H+ were determined earlier using the well-known tetraphenyl arsonium tetraphenyl boride (TATB) reference electrolyte method. These values and their non-Born type contributions in particular, are found to be increasingly positive in water-rich compositions, indicating that the relative stabilization of OH− and the acidity of the mixed solvents decrease with increasing cosolvent composition. These, when compared with those in aqueous mixtures of ethylene glycol and 1,2-dimethoxy ethane, are found to lie intermediate between the latter solvent systems conforming to what is expected from the structural and electronic features of the cosolvents.

Staqndard free energies of transfer, ΔGt0, of alkali metal chlorides from water to aqueous mixtures of 10, 30, 50, and 70 wt.% glycerol have been determined from emf measurements of the double cell comprising Ag– AgCl and K(Hg) electrodes at 25°C. These values were divided into individual ion contributions by use of tetraphenyl arsonium tetraphenyl boride (Ph4AsBPh4) assumption, the required ΔGt0 values of the reference electrolyte (Ph4AsPh4B), obtained by measuring solubilities of KBPh4, Ph4AsPi, and KPi (Pi = picrate) in the solvents. The solvation behaviour of the involved ions, as dictated by their respective ΔGt0(i) values, in this as well as in systems of other similar co-solvents like ethanol, ethylene glycol, and urea, suggests that it is determined by one or several effects of acid-base, Born-type, and dispersion interactions. Moreover, comparable stability of PH4B–, particularly in aqueous glycerol and urea, suggests that "specific interactions" are possibly responsible for the well_known folding-unfolding phenomenon of native conformation of proteins in presence of co-solvents.

The standard molar Gibbs free energies of transfer of divalent anions, in particular sulfate, from water into methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, N-methylformamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, pyridine, acetonitrile, and dimethylsulfoxide and mixtures of some of them with water or some other solvent have been obtained from the literature. The tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylborate extrathermodynamic assumption has been used as far as possible in order to obtain the single ion values. The generally unfavorable transfers from water (or protic solvents) into polar aprotic ones are interpreted in terms of the properties of the anions and of the solvents, dominated by the hydrogen-bonding acidity of water.

Single-ion tranfer free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of some electrolytes from water to 1, 2, and 4m aqueous NaNO3 solvents have been determined at 25 °C using the widely used tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylborate (Ph4AsBPh4) reference electrolyte assumption, after due modification for this solvent system. The required [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] values of Ph4AsPi, KBPh4, KPi, AgPi, PbPi2, Ag2CrO4, and AgCl where Pi = picrate, were determined by measuring solubilities at 15–35 °C of the solutes except AgCl, the values of which were determined from emf measurements. Analysis of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] values of the ions as well as their respective true interaction effects, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as obtained after correcting for their cavity effects [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] estimated by the scaled particle theory (SPT) and Born-type electrostatic effects, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] computed by simple Born equation, reveals that the behaviour of the ions in this ionic cosolvent system is chiefly guided by one or several effects of ion–ion–solvent, Born and cavity forming interactions. Moreover, a rational explanation has been offered to explain the observed mirror-image entropie behaviour of simple cations and anions in light of Kundu etal.'s four-steps transfer process.
