The mechanism of formation of muonium atoms from positive muons was studied here through measurements of the yield of diamagnetic muon states in dipolar aprotic solvents and for scavenger solutions in hexane and methanol. The results are compared with published data on common solvents covering a full range of the physicochemical properties of liquids that affect an ionic formation mechanism, namely their static dielectric constants, electron mobilities, and radiolysis yields of electrons. It is concluded that muonium is not formed by a thermal charge-neutralization reaction in these chemically-active media, though that mechanism does contribute to muonium formation in inert media like liquefied noble gases. It is clear that muonium materializes on a much shorter timescale than the recently proposed "delayed" mechanism (microseconds) and the earlier "spur" model (nanoseconds). In contrast, the data referring to all these liquids are consistent with the intra-track "hot" model. This is the only Mu-formation model proposed so far in which the immediate precursors of Mu (Mu(hot)) are neither scavengable nor ionic.Key words: muonium atoms, formation mechanism, hot model, spur model, delayed-muonium-formation model, diamagnetic yields.

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%.

Previous work on the reduction of a series of cobalt(III) complexes by iron(II) in dipolar aprotic solvents and in aqueous mixtures has been extended to reduction by copper(I). The greater stability of copper(I) to disproportionation in these media has permitted the study of the reduction of CoF(NH3)52+ and Co(HCOO)(NH3)52+ in range of solvents over a number of temperatures with a precision not possible in previous studies in water. The results are consistent with an inner-sphere mechanism in which the copper(I) reductant is preferentially solvated by dimethyl sulfoxide to the exclusion of water in mixed solvents.

Dipolar Aprotic Solvents

The 1H NMR spectra of the charge-transfer complex of 1-ethyl-4-methoxycarbonylpyridinium iodide have been recorded in various dipolar aprotic solvents. An attempt is made to interpret the chemical shifts in terms of Buckingham's reaction field equation for spherical cavities. A linear dependence has been found between the δ(2,6) values and the square of dielectric function for a spherical cavity, which confirms the validity of the Buckingham equation for this class of compounds.
