Activated tertiary amines such as triethanolamine (TEA) and methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) have gained wide acceptance for CO2 removal. These materials require very low regeneration energy because of weak CO2 amine adduct formation, and do not form carbamates or other corrosive compounds (53). Hybrid CO2 removal systems, such as MDEA —sulfolane—water and DIPA—sulfolane—water, where DIPA is diisopropylamine, are aqueous alkaline solutions in a nonaqueous solvent, and are normally used in tandem with other systems for residual clean-up. Extensive data on the solubiUty of acid gases in amine solutions are available (55,56). 

Sulfur is known to be easily reducible in nonaqueous solvents and its reduction products exist at various levels of reduction of polysulfide radical anions (S . ) and dianions (Sm2 ) 173], Recently Be-senhard and co-workers [74] have examined the effect of the addition of polysulfide to LiC104-PC. Lithium is cycled on an Ni substrate with Qc=2.7 C cm 2 and cycling currents of 1 mA cm. The cycling efficiency in PC with polysulfide is higher than that without an additive. The lithium deposition morphology is compact and smooth in PC with added polysulfide, whereas it is dendritic in PC alone. 

The Bronsted definitions of acids and bases are more general than the Arrhenius definitions they also apply to species in nonaqueous solvents and even to gas-phase reactions. For example, when pure acetic acid is added to liquid ammonia, proton transfer takes place and the following equilibrium is reached ... 

Table 3 shows conductivity of 2mol/dm3 solutions of EMImBF4 and EMImPF6 in a number of molecular solvents. A high increase of conductivity, in comparison to neat ionic liquids, can be observed after dilution with electrically neutral molecular liquids. However, solutions of ionic liquids in molecular liquids are simply conventional solutions of organic salts in nonaqueous solvents, and no distinction can be seen between them and commonly employed solutions of (C2H5)4NBF4.

One of the disadvantages of using a nonaqueous solvent is that in most cases ionic solids are less soluble than in water. There are exceptions to this. For example, silver chloride is insoluble in water, but it is soluble in liquid ammonia. As will be illustrated later, some reactions take place in opposite directions in a nonaqueous solvent and water. 

The nitronium ion, N02+, derived from N02, is the attacking species in nitration reactions (see Chapter 9). Also, liquid N204 has been rather extensively studied as a nonaqueous solvent, and autoionization, to the extent it occurs, appears to be as follows ... 

Sulfuric acid has been used as a nonaqueous solvent, and some proton transfer may take place as a result of autoionization in 100% H2S04.

In conclusion, the dominant effect of the increasing strength of the electric field in the double layer is an increase in the dissociation of salts dissolved in nonaqueous solvents, and this behavior is similar to that observed in aqueous solutions. ...

On the basis of the findings on LiBOB performance in nonaqueous solvents and other advances made to improve the low-temperature performance of lithium ion electrolytes. Jow and co-workers proposed that an electrolyte with a much wider temperature range could be formulated using LiBOB alone or in combination with other salts. The following section (8.4) will be dedicated to this topic. 

RP-HPLC with nonaqueous solvents and UVD at 246 nm was developed for the determination of low level POVs of vegetable oils. These measurements are specific for conjugated diene peroxides derived from vegetable oils with relatively high linoleic acid content. These measurements may be supplemented by nonspecific UVD at 210 nm and ELSD for detection of all eluted species. The elution sequence of the triglycerides in a nonaqueous RP-HPLC is linearly dependent on the partition number of each species, Vp, which is defined as = Nq — 2Ni, where Nq is the carbon number and is the double bond number. In the case of hydroperoxides = Nq — 2Nd — Vhpo, where Vhpo is the number of hydroperoxyl groups in the molecule (usually 1 for incipient POV). For... 

In the first section, the main characteristics of solutions of sulfur and polysulfides in nonaqueous solvents and water are summarized. Then, the electroreduction of... 

The electrochemistry of oxo-bridged manganese complexes in aqueous solution is characterized by coupled electron and proton-transfer reactions. The cyclic voltammetric behavior of [Mn2 02(phen)4] + in aqueous pH 4.5 phosphate buffer is illustrated in Fig. 12 [97]. It is of interest to compare this result with that obtained for the same complex dissolved in CH3CN (Fig. 9). Two one-electron reactions are observed in each case. However, these correspond to Mn(IV,IV) Mn(IV,III) and Mn(IV,III) Mn(III,III) reductions in the nonaqueous solvent and to Mn(IV,III) Mn(III,III) and Mn(III,III) Mn(III,II) reductions in...

Recently, Japaridze etal. [170] have investigated adsorption of some aromatic compounds, including naphthalene, naphthonitrile, naphthylamine, anthracene, and phenathrene at the mercury electrode I ethylene glycol solution interface. The analysis of the differential capacity data obtained at the HMDE has revealed that adsorption of the above-mentioned compounds obeys the Frumkin model, with attractive interactions of the particles in the adsorption layer. The results for ethylene glycol were compared with those for other nonaqueous solvents and their role in determining the adsorption mode was discussed. 

In recognition of the work of Strehlow and coworkers, Gagne, Koval, and Lisen-sky [7] recommended that ferrocene be used as an internal standard for all potential measurements in nonaqueous solvents and that its aqueous potential of +0.400 V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SFIE) could be considered to represent a consistent correction factor in referencing all nonaqueous potential measurements to aqueous SHE. This recommendation is somewhat in disagreement with the conclusion of Strehlow and coworkers who, on the basis of theoretical considerations, suggested that the potential of the ferrocene couple in acetonitrile should be... 

The conventional preparative routes to anionic, neutral, or cationic complexes of indium start with the metal, which is dissolved in a suitable mineral acid to give a solution from which hydrated salts can be obtained by evaporation. These hydrates react with a variety of neutral or anionic ligands in nonaqueous solvents, and a wide range of indium(III) complexes have been prepared in this manner.1 Alternatively, the direct high-temperature oxidation of the metal by halogens yields the anhydrous trihalides, which are again convenient starting materials in synthetic work. In the former case, the initial oxidation of the metal is followed by isolation, solution reaction, precipitation, and recrystallization. 

In this paper we will discuss the substitution reactions of complexes of the type, [Co en2 A X]+n in nonaqueous solvents and will show how the general conditions that apply here can be extended to aquation and other solvolytic reactions, and to the base hydrolysis reaction.
