For polyfunctional compounds, free energies of transfer from gas to aqueous solution require corrections for the interactions of polar groups (Distant Polar Interactions). These corrections can be made with very few adjustable parameters by using a model of the solvation process assuming hydrogen bonding is the major source of the effect on free energy of transfer for polar groups, and that hydrogen bonding is perturbed by polar effects, measured by Taft σ*. Parameters evaluated for polyfluoro, polychloro, and polybromo compounds successfully predicted the free energies of transfer for mixed polyhalogen compounds. Preliminary parameters have been evaluated for ethers, amines, phenyl groups, nitriles, and esters. Key words: free energy of transfer, distant polar interaction, hydrogen bonding, solvation.

Free energies of transfer of Ph4C from acetonitrile to 20 other solvents have been calculated from literature data. The contribution of the cavity term to the total free energy has been obtained from scaled-particle theory and Sinanoglu–Reisse–Moura Ramos theory. It is shown that there is little connection between the cavity term and the total free energy of transfer, and that there must be, in general, a large interaction term. If the latter is important for transfer of Ph4C, we argue that it must also be important for transfer of the ions Ph4As+ and Ph4B−. Previous suggestions that the interaction term is zero for transfer of these two ions are thus seen to be unreasonable. We also show, for six solvents, that the interaction term for Ph4C is very large in terms of enthalpy and entropy, and that scaled-particle theory seems not to apply to transfers of Ph4C between pure organic solvents.The free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of transfer of Ph4As+ = Ph4B− have been calculated by dividing the total transfer values into neutral and electrostatic contributions; reasonable agreement is obtained between calculated and observed values.

The comparison of S2ΔS1G°tr(E1) with the sum of the values for the corresponding cation and anion S2ΔS1G°tr(Ct+)~S2ΔS1G°tr(X-) (measured) with Owen cells, gained by double extrapolation and by the assumption that the liquid junction potential at 1→0 may be neglected) gives values which differ by not more than ±5%. Most of the investigated acids allow the conclusion that the pH values, measured in cells with transference, and having the same electrodes, give good information on the acidity of the organic solvent and its water mixtures, referred to the standard state in water. That means that the pH, changed to the same H+ concentration in the solvent compared with that in water, is essentially an effect of the free energy of transfer of the hydrogen ion and not of very high liquid junction potentials.
