Abstract
In this study, the enthalpies of stepwise complexation reactions between silver(I) ions and pyridine in methanol–acetonitrile mixed solvents (MeOH-AN, with molar fractions of AN varying from 0 to 1) were determined by the calorimetric method at 298.15 K. The analysis of the solvation contributions of the reactants to the alterations in the thermodynamic characteristics associated with the formation of [AgPy]+ and [AgPy2]+ complexes as the solvent composition transitions, i.e. from methanol to its mixtures with acetonitrile (MeOH → χAN), from methanol to its mixtures with N,N-dimethylformamide (MeOH → χDMF) and from acetonitrile to its mixtures with dimethyl sulfoxide (AN → χDMSO) was carried out. The research methodology was based on the provisions of the solvation-thermodynamic approach, based on the relationship between changes in the thermodynamic characteristics of the reactions of complex formation and solvation of reagents with a change in the composition of the solvent.
