Abstract

A large number of quantitative studies have been made of the Gibbs energy of transfer (the solvent medium effect) for cations transferring from water into mixed aqueous−organic solvent systems, mainly at 25 °C. Nevertheless, no systematic effort appears to have been made to compile and analyze these data, particularly for multivalent cations. A critical review of this information and its presentation in a manner that permits comparison of different cations in a given solvent mixture and of a given cation transferring into different mixtures is therefore of value.
