Abstract
The inverse Kirkwood-Buff integral (IKBI) approach is applied, as far as the relevant data exist in the literature, to the preferential solvation of Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Ag+, and Tl+ in aqueous mixtures of methanol, ethanol, 1,2-ethanediol (EG), acetonitrile, formamide, N,N,-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N,N′,N′,N″,N″-hexamethyl phosphoric triamide (HMPT), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). In aqueous EG and formamide the preferential solvation is very small. Water is the preferred solvent in the solvation shells in aqueous methanol, ethanol and acetonitrile (except for Ag+ in the latter solvent) but the co-solvent is preferred in aqueous mixtures of DMF, HMPT, and DMSO over most or all of the composition range. For the latter three mixtures the larger donicity of the co-solvents causes their preference, whereas where water is preferred over other protic solvents, it is the small size of the water molecules that appears to be the cause.
