Abstract

The standard Gibbs energies of transfer, ΔGt° from water to water–N,N-dimethylformamide mixtures for the dissociation process of several organic acids (formic, acetic, propionic, n-butyric, isobutyric, n-valeric, isovaleric, 2-methylbutyric and trimethylacetic acids) obtained from the pKa* values are discussed in terms of the extended Scaled Particle Theory from quantum mechanical calculations in order to estimate the cavity and electrostatic contributions. The residual energy term was correlated with the hydrogen bond acceptor density and the Kamlet–Taft β parameters. The main contribution to ΔGt° was due to dipolar and specific interactions.
