Abstract
Equilibrium constants for the formation of 1:1 and 1:2 complexes of monomeric water with twelve hydrogen bond acceptor solvents were evaluated from the chemical shifts of the water protons in ternary mixtures containing a low concentration of water and varying proportions of the acceptor solvent and carbon tetrachloride. Formation constants of the 1:1 complexes (with the exception of those of dioxane and dimethoxyethane) correlate well with Kamlet-Taft β-parameters. A good correlation is also obtained with Gutmann donor numbers if nitromethane and pyridine are excluded. Stepwise formation constants of the 1:2 complexes vary relatively little; this is attributed to a leveling effect of first hydrogen bond formation.
