Anion-Solvent Interactions

StiU more difficult to interpret are the rates of reactions of the several alkoxides in their respective alcohols, since in this case strong anion-solvent interactions are involved. We may only note that a series of alcohols including a fairly large variety of structural types (straight-...

The extent of radical anion-solvent interactions has been considered by Peover by comparing potentials in different organic solvents. Amongst aprotic solvents the variations can, with few exceptions, be explained purely in terms of solvation energy as predicted by the Born equation. However, when potentials of quinones in acetonitrile and in alkaline aqueous media are compared, the semiquinone radical anions are seen to be vastly more stable in water, indicating the specific nature of the solvent-radical anion interactions in that system.
