Enthalpies of solution of naphthalene, N,N-dimethyl-1-naphthylamine, and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene in 16 organic solvents
The enthalpies of solution of naphthalene, N,N-dimethyl-1-naphthylamine, and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (proton sponge) were determined at 298.15 K in 16 organic solvents (n-hexane, cyclohexane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, benzene, chlorobenzene, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethyl acetate, 1,4-dioxane, anisole, nitrobenzene, benzonitrile, methanol, ethanol). Additional determinations were made with benzene. Useful linear relationships are observed between the molar enthalpies of solution of the four compounds in the solvents. The molar enthalpies of solution were correlated with the solvatochromic parameter of the solvents. The presence of N(CH3)2 groups on naphthalene does not significantly contribute to the solute–solvent interactions.
