The dielectric constants, viscosities, densities, and refractive indices of the binary solvent mixtures dimethylsulfoxide–isopropanol and propylene carbonate–isopropanol were measured at 25, 30, and 35 °C over the entire mole fraction range. Excess dielectric constant, excess molar polarization, and excess viscosity were calculated. For both binary systems the variation of the Kirkwood correlation factor has been examined. Keywords: propylene carbonate, acetonitrile, correlation factor, excess properties, dielectric constant.

Conductance data for the nitrates of sodium, potassium, and ammonium in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) – water mixtures (74.39 ≥ D ≥ 36.11) at 25 °C are reported for the concentration range 0.0003–0.06 mol dm−3. Also densities, viscosities, and dielectric constants of the solvent mixture (DMF–water) are reported at the same temperature. The data have been analysed by the Fuoss (1978) equation excluding the term α. The existence of a maximum in the viscosity at a 1:3 mol ratio of DMF and water is attributed to the formation of a solvated complex DMF•3H2O. The Walden products for all the three salts pass through a maximum while the equivalent conductances show a minimum with the change of DMF content in the solvent mixtures. In any given solvent mixture, the limiting equivalent conductances show the trend NaNO3 < KNO3 < NH4NO3. The existence of a maximum in Walden product is attributed to the dehydration of ions due to presence of the cosolvent (DMF). For all the three salts, the association constant was negligible (KA < 10) in all the solvent mixtures studied.

Many acceptor/donor systems can form excited-state charge-transfer complexes (exciplexes) in photo-induced electron transfer reactions. Exciplex can be detected by their luminescence. In addition, the exciplex luminescence is magneto-sensitive. Here, we employ an approach based on the magnetic field effect on the exciplex of 9,10- dimethylanthracene/N,N-dimethylaniline pair in micro-homogeneous and micro-heterogeneous binary solvents to investigate the effects of the preferential solvation processes on solute molecules in solutions. Micro-homogeneous solvent mixtures of propyl acetate (PA)/butyronitrile (BN) allow for a systematic variation of the static dielectric constants, s , in the range from 6.0 to 24.6. The mixtures of toluene (TO)/dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) with varying the s values in the range from 4.3 to 15.5 are used as micro-heterogeneous binary solvents. In micro-heterogeneous environment, DMSO molecules get preferentially favoured in the solvation shell, forming micro-clusters surrounding the solute molecules. This solvation effect is reflected in the altered magnetic field effects, lifetimes and dissociation rate constants of the exciplexes.

The present study is focused on the electrochemical properties of poly(3,4-propylene­dioxy­thiophene) (Poly(ProDOT)), electrocoated on the single carbon-fiber microelectrode (SCFME) in different electrolytic media, with different solvent dielectric constants (35.9, 41.7, 47.5, 53.3, 59.1 and 64.9). The highest deposition charge density of 24.49 mC cm-2 and the highest specific capacitance of 23.17 mF cm-2 were obtained for Poly(ProDOT) synthesized in a medium with the lowest solvent dielectric constant (e = 35.9). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results of Poly(ProDOT) coated SCFME measured at open circuit potential showed continuously increased impedance magnitudes as ε was increased from 35.9 to 59.1. For all films, almost capacitive impedance responses at lower frequencies at least were obtained. The highest capacitance was observed for the polymer film synthesized in the medium of e = 35.9. The impedance of this film was also measured in different solvent mixtures with different dielectric constants at open circuit potential.

A survey is given on our attempts to calculate equilibrium properties of molecular liquids (pure solvents and electrolyte solutions) with the help of spatial pair correlation functions, starting from classical molecular pair interactions. The selection of potential models, especially the influence of molecular polarizability, is discussed as well as the limitations of the different methods of calculation of molecular pair correlation functions (e.g., from molecular and site-site Ornstein-Zernike theories, from MC and from MD simulations). We have performed simulations and integral equation calculations for spatial distribution functions in pure solvents with very low dielectric constants as dioxane and tetrahydrofurane, up to solvents with a very high dielectric constant like n-methylformamide. Ionic solvation is studied in pure solvent systems as well as in solvent mixtures. The general features of ion solvation and association, of the solvent structure around solutes, and their influence on solution properties, are discussed in the framework of the different theoretical approaches.
