Transfer activity coefficients for the sodium ion, logmγNa, between pairs of dipolar aprotic solvents were estimated from the e.m.f. of cells consisting of two sodium-selective electrodes in different solvents connected by a salt-bridge of triisoamylbutylammonium tetraphenylborate [(tab+)BPh4-], or tetraethylammonium picrate (Et4NPic), or tetraethylammonium perchlorate (Et4NclO4). The solvents were: acetonitrile (MeCN), N,N-dimethylformamide (HCONMe2), dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO), propylene carbonate (pcar), and N-methylformamide (HCONHMe). Values of logmγNA were estimated first by neglecting the liquid-junction potential E, and then, for some systems, by applying an Ej correction from theory. A novel method of estimating transfer activity coefficients for single ions, based on the Ej equation, was demonstrated on the (tab+) and Pic-ions. Transfer activity coefficients for the hydrogen ion between MeCN and HCONMe2 as well as MeCN and Me2SO were similarly estimated from the e.m.f. of two pH (glass) electrodes immersed in buffer media in the above pairs of solvents.

Transfer activity coefficients of the tetraalkylammonium ions, logmγR, where R+ = Me4N+, Et4N+, Pr4N+ and Bu4N+, and of the picrate ion, logmγPic, between pairs of dipolar aprotic solvents, S1 → S2, were evaluated by combining the e.m.f . of cells Ag(cryst.)|AgClO4|RX|AgClO4|Ag( cryst .)�������������������������������� S1 ������ S2with the calculated liquid-junction potentials, Ej. The salt-bridge electrolyte RX was RClO4 and R Pic for the determinations of logmγR and logmγPic, respectively, and the solvents were: acetonitrile ( MeCN ), N,N- dimethylformamide (HCONMe2), dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and propylene carbonate ( pcar ). The logmγR values showed a systematic variation with the AgClO4 concentration, apparently caused by the concentration dependence of the solvent component of the liquid-junction potential, Ej,s, neglected in the calculations. However, the above concentration dependence was virtually eliminated from the values of logmγPic when they were calculated with the aid of our concentration-dependent logmγR data. For a number of our cells it was possible to evaluate the Ej,s, with the aid of literature data. The solvent component of Ej was found to be appreciable and varied both with the AgClO4 and the RX concentration. The Ej,s, was particularly large for cells containing pcar , with a maximum of -172 mV for the pcar | MeCN junction.

Stability constants, Kf(LK+) and Kf(LKX) = [LKX]/[L][KX] at 25� in the dipolar aprotic solvents acetone (Me2CO), acetonitrile (MeCN), propylene carbonate (pc), N,N-dimethylformamide (HCONMe2), dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO), as well as in the alcohols, methanol (MeOH), isopropyl alcohol (Pr1OH), and butan -1-ol (BuOH) have been determined, L being bis(4,4'(5')-t-buty1benzo)-18- crown-6 (di(BuBo)-18-cr-6). This crown is considerably more lipophylic than is dibenzo-18-crown-6. Values of Kf(LKX) have been found from values of Kf(LK+), KA(KX) and KA(LKX). Transfer activity coefficients, Me2COγS, have been calculated (based on the Parker proposal that γ(Ph4As+) = γ(BPh4-) between acetone and the various solvents used of K+, Br-, ClO4-, P1- (picrate), LK+, KX, and LKX. It is found that K+ is more strongly solvated in Me2CO than in the other aprotic solvents of low donicity. The reverse is true between Me2CO and HCONMe2 or Me2SO (even after correcting for the Born effect).

The displacement of the coordinated Me2SO from [Cr(NCS)5(Me2SO)]2- by NCS- and pyridine has been studied in the solvent tetramethylene sulphone (sulpholane). The results are consistent with a limiting dissociative mechanism. The solvolysis reactions: �� ��������������[Cr(NCS)6]3- + sol → [Cr(NCS)5(sol)]2- + NCS- have been studied in the solvents (sol) Me2SO, HCONMe2 and MeCONMe2. The transition states for these solvolysis reactions are compared with a dissociative model ������������������������ [Cr(NCS)5(3-)+(∂+)...NCS∂-] by means of solvent transfer activity coefficients. Kinetic and activation data are recorded for a number of solvent interchange reactions: ����������� [Cr(NCS)5(sol1)]2- + sol2 → [Cr(NCS)5(sol2)]2- + sol1

Abstract The measurements of ionized calcium and pH in paired samples of anaerobic capillary whole blood, venous whole blood, venous plasma, and venous serum have been evaluated with a modified ICA 1 analyzer and compared with those of an unmodified ICA 1 analyzer. The unmodified instrument showed a significant difference between measurements in anaerobic venous whole blood, venous plasma, and venous serum, but the modified instrument did not. Statistically significant differences between the two instruments were found for whole blood (magnitude of mean difference magnitude of = 0.053 mmol/L) and for venous serum (0.016 mmol/L), but not for venous plasma. The error of residual liquid junction potential due to blood cells, previously found in the unmodified ICA 1 (salt bridge: KCl, 2.68 mol/kg) was eliminated and independent of the erythrocyte volume fraction in the modified ICA 1 (salt bridge: sodium formate, 4.56 mol/kg). From studies of procedures for measurements of ionized calcium in anaerobically handled samples, we recommend the use of anaerobic whole blood for measuring ionized calcium.
