The electroreduction of aromatic aldehydes in aprotic solvents

Dispersions of Goethite Nanorods in Aprotic Polar Solvents

Colloidal suspensions of anisotropic nanoparticles can spontaneously self-organize in liquid-crystalline phases beyond some concentration threshold. These phases often respond to electric and magnetic fields. At lower concentrations, usual isotropic liquids are observed but they can display very strong Kerr and Cotton-Mouton effects (i.e., field-induced particle orientation). For many examples ...

Application of the LFER in Organic Electrochemistry: Jnterpretation of the Hammett Reaction Constant (e) for Processes of Reversible Electroreduction in Aprotic Solvents

The paper is an overview of the application of the concept of linear free energy relationships (LFER), most notably through the Hammett equation, to investigations of reversible organic electrochemical reactions in aprotic solvents. In sequence the following topics are covered: the effect of solvent properties on the equilibrium, ion pairing effects, the direct application of Hammett's equation...

Desiccant efficiency in solvent drying. 3. Dipolar aprotic solvents.

Ionic Equilibria in Protic and in Dipolar Aprotic Solvents

Chemical interactions' as well as 'physical interactions' play an important part in solvation. Some equilibria are reversed on transfer froni protic to dipolar aprotic solvents and this behaviour can be interpreted and predicted through the solvent activity coefficients of the appropriate solutes. Some extrathermodynamic assumptions for the evaluation of single ion solvent activity coefficients...

A Carbohydrate–Anion Recognition System in Aprotic Solvents

A carbohydrate-anion recognition system in nonpolar solvents is reported, in which complexes form at the B-faces of β-D-pyranosides with H1-, H3-, and H5-cis patterns similar to carbohydrate-π interactions. The complexation effect was evaluated for a range of carbohydrate structures; it resulted in either 1:1 carbohydrate-anion complexes, or 1:2 complex formation depending on the protection pat...
