Abstract
Solvent exchange models have been applied to the transition energy of the Dimroth–Reichardt ET(30) solvatochromic indicator in binary hydroxylic solvents at 25 °C. The models tested have been critically evaluated to show the simplifications and limitations inherent to each model. A general five-parameter model [two preferential solvation and three ET(30) parameters] has been selected as the most appropriate. This model fits well the 51 binary systems tested in this work and 19 different ones previously studied. It also allows a quantitative interpretation of the ET(30) behaviour of the binary systems in terms of solute–solvent and solvent–solvent interactions.
