The possibility of predicting thermodynamic properties of redox couples and solutes in different solvents is very important. It should be very useful to develop procedures of transferring thermodynamic data such as redox potentials from solvent to solvent. In fact, the correlation found between kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of reactions in solutions, and solvent parameters such as DN, AN, dielectric constant, etc., indicates that it may be quite feasible to draw empirical formulas which predict, for instance, redox potentials in some solvents, based on well-established data obtained experimentally with other solvents. Thus, it may be possible to define transfer parameters (AG , AH , ASf, etc.) reflecting the difference between aqueous and polar aprotic solutions in the thermodynamic properties of solutes.
