Partial molar volumes of cryptand-222 in organic solvents at 25�C

Abstract

The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution of cryptand-222 (C-222) in water, methanol, acetonitrile, ethanol, dimethylsulfoxide, propanol, 2-propanol, chloroform, benzene, 1-butanol, cyclohexane, butyl-methylketone, hexane, tetrahydronaphthalene, heptane, octane, cyclohexylbenzene and decane were measured at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 mol-L−1 at 25°C. The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution showed remarkable dependency on the molar volume of the solvent. The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution for C-222 increase as the solvent molar volume increases.
