Standard molar free energies, enthalpies and entropies of transfer of some uni-univalent electrolytes from water to methanol, N-methylformamide, formamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, N,N-dimethyl- formamide, propylene carbonate, sulpholane, N-methylpyrrolidone and acetonitrile are presented. They have been divided into the corresponding thermodynamic properties for single ions by means of extrathermodynamic assumptions. Changes in the chemistry of anions on transfer from protic to dipolar aprotic solvents are mainly a function of enthalpy changes. There is a substantial loss of entropy on transferring both anions and cations from water to non-aqueous solvents. Entropies of transfer can be interpreted in terms of ordering and disordering solvent molecules and a uniquely extensive water structure. Evidence for solvation of the first and second kind in water is presented. Enthalpies of transfer from water are exothermic for cations but endothermic for many anions.

Solvation of Li+, Be2+, Na+, Mg2+, and Al3+ ions has been studied in binary mixtures with dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile and water, and in ternary mixtures of the organic solvents with water. The CNDO/2 quantum chemical method was used to calculate the energies of solvation, molecular structures and charge distributions for the complexes acetonitrile...ion (1:1, 2:1, 4:1), dimethyl sulphoxide...ion (1:1), dimethylformamide...ion (1:1), and acetonitrile (dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide)...ion...water (1:1:1).

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been measured of six trans-azobenzenes substituted at 2 and 2’ positions with substituents favourable for complex formation with a metal (OH, NH2, NHCOCH3, COOH). From the standpoint of NMR such substituted trans-azobenzenes are present in solution in a rapid equilibrium following from rotation around the bond between C-1 of phenyl group and N atom of azo linkage. The predominant form has the substituent in the syn-position with respect to the free electron pair of the nearer azo nitrogen atom. The equilibrium is affected by dipolar aprotic solvents (such as hexadeuteriodimethyl sulfoxide) by decreasing the presence of the predominant form by 1 to 11%.
