Abstract

In the absence of thermodynamic data for the great variety of chemical interactions, particularly in non-aqueous solutions, the concept of donicity has been found an extremely useful guide for the

  1. (a)

    formation of donor-acceptor complexes,

  2. (b)

    ionization of covalent compounds by means of donor molecules,

  3. (c)

    autocomplex formation,

  4. (d)

    rate of solvent substitution,

  5. (e)

    solvation of metal ions and

  6. (f)

    redox-equilibria in non-aqueous media.

It is apparent that the exclusive application of the donicity-rule may fail to account for the actual reaction which is occurring, since solvation of anions, steric factors, and other specific donor-acceptor interactions as well as the entropic effects must also be considered.

However, the present outline should have illustrated, that in a notable number of coordination chemistry phenomena as well as ionization- and redox equilibria the concept of donicity serves as a usefule guide to the selection of a suitable medium for a particular purpose and to the prediction — at least qualitatively — of the properties of a given solution.
