Abstract

Data have been compiled from the published literature for the partition coefficients of solutes and vapors into anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane. The logarithms of the water-to-ether partition coefficients, log10 P, and gas-to-ether partition coefficients, log10 K, were correlated with the Abraham solvation parameter model. The derived correlations described the observed log10 P and log10 K values for both ether solvents to within average standard deviations of 0.16 log10 units or less. The log10 P correlation for tetrahydrofuran was extended to include the partition of ions by inclusion of a cation-solvent and an anion-solvent term.
