Dielectric constants solids, data table

For this calculation we use as the starting point the well known experimental data by Bertie et al. [51]. Since the dielectric constant s given in this work is negative in a few frequency points, we correct the above data by adding 2.5 to the value s represented in Table III of this work. In the frequency range of interest the so-corrected data by Bertie et al. [51] are presented in Table XI. They are also shown in Fig. 28 by solid lines. The original (uncorrected by us) e (v) dependence is depicted in Fig. 28a by the dashed line. 

The solubility of NaCl in water and alcohols also shows an interesting trend and allows us to see the effects of solvent properties. The relevant data are shown in Table 5.3. As the size of the solvent molecules increases and the dielectric constant decreases, the solubihty of NaCl decreases. The size and character of the alkyl group becomes dominant over that of the polar OH group. Accordingly, the solubihty of ionic solids such as NaCl decreases with increasing size of the alkyl group.
