Summary.
The solubilities of the silver halides in three non-aqueous solvents: methanol, acetonitrile, and dimethylsulfoxide, and in their aqueous mixtures, are reviewed. Values for the solubility product, K SO , the enthalpies of solution, Δ sol H o, and the equilibrium products for AgX (i−1)− i silver halide complexes, β i , are listed and, where possible, compared. The solvent systems provide examples for three types of mixed aqueous solvent system: aqueous alcohol mixtures and aqueous mixtures with dipolar aprotic solvents that are weakly or strongly basic. The experimental data are discussed in terms of the solvation of the silver and halide ions in the mixed solvents.
