The solvent effect on the position and the shape of the absorption spectrum of peridinin for 12 protic and aprotic solvents as well as the temperature effect for methanol were studied using a solvatochromic theory based on the Onsager sphere cavity model.

The solvent effect on the iodide–triiodide equilibrium has been investigated by means of calorimetric and potentiometric measurements. The aprotic solvents studied were nitromethane, nitrobenzene, sulfolane, acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, acetophenone, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, and o-dichlorobenzene. The resulting enthalpy and free energy changes imply that the variations of the enthalpies and free energies of transfer of the iodide and triiodide ions probably are small and that there is an important non-coulombic contribution to these transfer parameters. Values were obtained for the enthalpy of formation of two solid triiodides, which together with values for other triiodides, cast doubt on reported calculated lattice enthalpies of triiodides and formation enthalpy of I3− ion in the gas phase. This latter formation enthalpy is found to be, from our solution data, more negative than −22 kcal mol−1.

Apparent dissociation constants of 3-substituted bicyclo[2,2,2]-octane-1-carboxylic acids I-III and of several substituted benzoic acids were measured in four pure solvents. The results - together with numerous literature data concerning dissociation in other solvents and in the gas phase - were compared with the prediction of the electrostatic theory. The theory fails to reproduce the essential features of the solvent dependence as it predicts generally too small effects and does not differentiate between protic and aprotic solvents. The mentioned goal cannot be achieved by any more sophisticated cavity model or by any other theory as far as it characterizes the solvent only through its bulk permittivity.
