Preface
This book is designed to provide the student with a broad background of the scope of the chemistry and physical properties of nonaqueous solvent systems and, we hope, will serve as a springboard to both graduate level courses or specialized courses in this subject. We have tried to relate the various approaches to this topic in order that the reader will appreciate the need for the different methods used to shed light on problems such as ion-solvent and ion-ion interactions, acid-base equilibria, and mechanisms of chemical and electrochemical reactions in nonaqueous solvents.
The first three chapters are key chapters, as they provide a firm foun­dation for a thorough understanding of the more specialized topics in sub­
sequent chapters. These early chapters focus on the numerous solute-solvent interactions, the nature of solvation, the classification of solvents and the physicochemical properties of some typical solvents. Later chapters con­centrate on thermodynamic and transport properties, correlation of prop­erties in different solvents, acid-base chemistry, spectroscopy, electrode processes, and kinetics. The final chapter discusses some specialized ap­plications of nonaqueous solvents.
In each chapter, we have attempted to present a concise account of the key principles and equations governing each topic. Derivations of equations are not given, but adequate references are provided for those interested in pursuing the theory in greater detail. A general discussion for each topic is followed by specific examples for a range of selected nonaqueous solvents. An attempt has been made to cover a varied approach to the topics with emphasis on the more recent advances. A fairly extensive coverage of actual data and/or graphs is included to illustrate the main points of the discussion.
For the purposes of further study, a set of general references is given at the end of each section. In addition, a glossary of solvents and various solvent symbols is included.
