Abstract

The association constants for formation a 1: 1 complex between 4-phenyl azophenol and tri- n-butylphosphine oxide were measured in mixtures of n-octane and n-decanol, n-octane and n-hexanoic acid, and n-octane and 2-ethylhexyl acetamide. The experiments provide insight into the competition between solvent self-association and solvent–solute interactions in these systems. The solvation properties of the three polar solvents are quite different ...
