Abstract:
The solvent parameters DI, ES, α1, and β1 are intended for the description of solute-solvent intermolecular forces, i.e., dispersion-induction, electrostatic, hydrogen-bond donation, and hydrogen-bond acceptance, respectively. An up-to-date collection of these parameters is presented for 380 solvents including green solvents, ionic liquids, and deep eutectic solvents. Their determination for additional solvents requires three commercial indicators, betaine dye B(30), 4-F-phenol, and 4-F-anisole (as well as the refractive index). The chemical significance of these parameters is outlined. Their use in the linear solvation energy relationship P = P° + di DI + e ES + a α1 + b β1 for 62 physicochemical properties P (reaction rates, equilibrium constants, and IR, UV, and NMR spectra) yields determination coefficients generally greater than 0.90 and regression coefficients whose sign and relative magnitude provide consistent information on the intermolecular forces acting on these properties.

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...
