Another type of ternary electrolyte system consists of two solvents and one salt, such as methanol-water-NaBr. Vapor-liquid equilibrium of such mixed solvent electrolyte systems has never been studied with a thermodynamic model that takes into account the presence of salts explicitly. However, it should be recognized that the interaction parameters of solvent-salt binary systems are functions of the mixed solvent dielectric constant since the ion-molecular electrostatic interaction energies, gma and gmc, depend on the reciprocal of the dielectric constant of the solvent (Robinson and Stokes, (13)). Pure component parameters, such as gmm and gca, are not functions of dielectric constant. Results of data correlation on vapor-liquid equilibrium of methanol-water-NaBr and methanol-water-LiCl at 298.15°K are shown in Tables 9 and 10.

Simpler separations use PEI in ammonium bicarbonate to separate 3 S or 2 S dinucleosides monophosphates (43) or PEI-cellulose and water (44) silica gel in phosphate buffer at neutral pH (45) or silica gel, chloroform-methanol-water or ethyl acetate-isopropanol-water (46). Many of these simpler systems line the NMPs in the midline. Liao (47) separated pyr/gua dinucleotides on PEI and 0.8 LiCl-acetic acid. 

Closely related to these investigations, Breslow and co-workers studied the Diels-Alder reaction of CP with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) in water-like solvents, ethylene glycol and formamide, in the presence of lithium salts. They found clear differences and similarities between water and these two solvent systems. In the absence of Li salts, the second-order rate constant for the reaction at 20 °C increased in formamide ( 2 = 3184 X 10 m s" ), and even more in ethylene glycol (480 x 10 m" s" ), relative to a polar solvent such as methanol (75.5 x 10 m" s ) or non-polar solvent such as isooctane (5.940.3 x 10 m s ). The reactions in both polar solvents were faster in the presence of LiC104 than in the presence of LiCl, although the perchlorate ion has less salting-out effect than chloride ion in water [41]. 

HEPES) was obtained from Sigma. NH Cl, CaCl2, MgCl2, LiCl, NaCl, KCl, ethanol and methanol were purchased from Fisher. DMSO and quinine sulfate were procured from Aldrich. The water used was purified by MILLI-Q water system (Millipore). Stock solutions (2 mM) of the 4-methylcoumaro-cryptands were prepared in DMSO and diluted with water or methanol. Stock solutions (0.1 M) were prepared in 50 50 ethanol-water for 4-methylcoumaro-crown ethers and diluted with the same solvent mixture. 

Although density measurements of varying degrees of accuracy have been reported for ethanolic solutions, standard state partial molal volumes in ethanol have been evaluated for only a few electrolytes. Vosburgh, Connell and Butler reported for LiCl in water and a series of alcohols, including ethanol. They observed that the salt had a much smaller value of F in the alcohols than in water, and that for all the systems studied it was smallest in ethanol. Sobkowski and Mine have reported for HCl in water and the three lower alcohols and also observe F to be smaller in the alcohols than in water, but it is smallest in methanol rather than ethanol. Lee and Hyne have reported F° at 50.25°C for the tetraalkylammonium chlorides in ethanol-water mixtures up to 0.4 mol fraction of ethanol. With the tetramethyl and tetraethyl salts, the volumes are all very positive in water but decrease rapidly with an increase in alcohol content and appear to be at a minimum around 0.3 to 0.4 mol fraction of ethanol. The higher tetraalkyl salts are not entirely consistent with this pattern. 

It is appropriate to state that the reaction between cyclopentadiene and methyl acrylate (Scheme 5) proceed about four times faster in formamide and six times faster in ethylene glycol than it does in methanol. Similar results were reported by Liotta et al. These solvents, viz. formamide and ethylene glycol are referred to as water-like solvent systems. Also addition of LiCl in water-like solvents led to a further rate increase. In this case, it is noteworthy that addition of traditional antihydrophobic additives like urea also increased the rate (rather than retarding the rate) of the Diel-Alder reaction. ...
